Luckenbooth

Zusatztext

The devil's daughter rows to the shores of Leith in a coffin. The year is 1910 and she has been sent to a tenement building in Edinburgh by her recently deceased father to bear a child for a wealthy man and his fiancee. The harrowing events that follow lead to a curse on the building and its residents - a curse that will last for the rest of the century. Melding the poetic, the esoteric and the occult with the grit and grime of a real life lived on the edge, Jenny Fagan writes unlike any other author of her generation. <b>Ambitious and brilliant.</b>
