SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA NOVEL AWARD 2015 LONGLISTED FOR THE BAILEYS WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2016 Four-thirty on a May morning: the black fading to blue, dawn gathering somewhere below the treeline in the east. A long, straight road runs between sleeping fields to the little village of Lodeshill, and on it two cars lie wrecked and ravished, violence gathered about them in the silent air. One wheel, upturned, still spins. Howard and Kitty have recently moved to Lodeshill after a life spent in London; now, their marriage is wordlessly falling apart. Custom car enthusiast Jamie has lived in the village for all of his nineteen years and dreams of leaving it behind, while Jack, a vagrant farm-worker and mystic in flight from a bail hostel, arrives in the village on foot one spring morning, bringing change. All four of them are struggling to find a life in the modern countryside; all are trying to find ways to belong. Building to an extraordinary climax over the course of one spring month, At Hawthorn Time is both a clear-eyed picture of rural Britain, and a heartbreaking exploration of love, land and loss.
This book is a mosaic of short stories told from many points of view that weave a larger tale about the fundamental connection between good and evil. The stories account the brotherly comradeship of Michael the Archangel and Lucifer prior to and despite Lucifer’s demise from the most perfect good to the most perfect evil. Once evil takes residence, the once creative rivalry between the two diverges into their covert use of human beings to harvest the souls of Earth. Since in this complex stealthy war there are multiple sides to every story, each chapter houses accounts from the supernatural point of view and the “day-in-the-life” point of view of human beings. Anyone that faces the trials and tribulations of today’s world understands how quickly good can bleed into evil or evil into good. This is a story about how we as human beings can be manipulated between the two by unseen forces.
