A compelling story about roots, belonging and kinship set against the powerful backdrop of two houses in Kintyre. When twins, Rathlin and  Breacán Doherty, approach their twenty-seventh birthday, they come together after a long time apart to fight for their beloved Ballynoe, a house that is rich in folklore and which holds the ghosts of their parents. They slowly reveal their own secrets and uncover family lies that are shocking, far-reaching and tragic in their consequences.

Mission Statement

Founded in 2005, Linen Press is the only UK-wide feminist independent publisher.
At a time when female autonomy and rights are under threat, our books are important for the recognition and empowerment of the female experience.
We rejoice in the strength and originality of female and non-binary creative voices and champion those who are underrepresented and marginalised.
The collective background of our writers is a patchwork of cultures, countries, ages and writing styles as we share stories that speak to women across barriers and boundaries.
