Summary
The heroine of this haunting, spare novel is voraciously alive in the afterlife. Adrift yet keenly aware, our undead narrator notes every bizarre detail of her new reality. She has forgotten even her name, but she remembers with unbearable longing the place where she knew herself and was known – where she loved and was loved. She heads west and into mind-boggling adventures, carrying a dead but laconically opinionated crow in her chest.

Critic reviews
'A soul-stirringly expansive novel … darkly comic and metaphysical.' (The Telegraph)
'An unsettling narrative of grief and zombies … [that] amounts to a sharp and weighty depiction of what does and doesn’t make someone human.' (Publishers Weekly)
'Exceptional … de Marcken’s sparse and exquisitely crafted prose is intentionally enigmatic but deeply resonant.' (Readings)
'The prose is exquisite and the form is inventive … wry and moving and very beautiful.' (The Spectator)
