Summerwater
The Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller, longlisted for the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction 2021 From the acclaimed author of Ghost Wall, Sarah Moss' Summerwater is a devastating story told over twenty-four hours in the Scottish highlands . . . 'Superb' - The Times 'Sharp, searching . . . utterly of the moment' - Hilary Mantel 'So accomplished' - Guardian It is the summer solstice, but in a faded Scottish cabin park the rain is unrelenting. Twelve people on holiday with their families look on as the skies remain resolutely grey. A woman goes running up the Ben as if fleeing; a teenage boy chances the dark waters of the loch in his kayak; a retired couple head out despite the downpour, driving too fast on the familiar bends. But there are newcomers too, and one particular family, a mother and daughter with the wrong clothes and the wrong manners, start to draw the attention of the others. Who are they? Where are they from? Should they be here at all? As darkness finally falls, something is unravelling . . . 'A masterpiece' - Jessie Burton 'One of her best' - Irish Times 'Beautifully written, intense, powerful' - David Nicholls
Ghost Wall
'I have never read a novel this slender that holds inside it quite so much. Wild, calm, dark yet hopeful... This book ratcheted the breath out of me so skilfully that as soon as I'd finished, the only thing I wanted was to read it again' Jessie Burton It is high summer in rural Northumberland. Seventeen-year-old Silvie and her parents have joined an encampment run by an archaeology professor with an interest in the region's dark history of ritual sacrifice. As Silvie finds a glimpse of new freedoms with the professor's students, her relationship with her overbearing father begins to deteriorate, until the haunting rites of the past begin to bleed into the present.

The Fell
"Originally published in 2021 by Picador, Great Britain"--Title page verso.
The Frozen Ship
"Polar expeditions have generated a literature with its own history and style. The Frozen Ship is a thorough and thought-provoking examination of some of the most influential, popular, and intriguing accounts of journeys into the eternal ice--from Viking settlers and Renaissance conquerors to Robert Falcon Scott's meticulous account of his own dying, and from the tales of Parry, Franklin, Nansen, Shackleton, and Byrd to the journals of little-known explorers, missionaries, and archaeologists from Europe and North America. The Frozen Ship considers the morbid fascination with expeditions that went horribly wrong and the even greater interest attached to those that were rescued at the last minute"--Page 4 of cover.

Names for the Sea
At the height of the financial crisis in 2009, Sarah Moss and her husband moved with their two small children to Iceland. From their makeshift home among the half-finished skyscrapers of Reykjavik, Moss travels to hillsides of boiling mud and volcanic craters, and the remote farms and fishing villages of the far north. She watches the northern lights and the comings and goings of migratory birds, and as the weeks and months go by, she and her family find new ways to live.
Night Waking
Anna hasn't slept in months. Stranded on a Hebridean island with two small children, she struggles to write or think without a room of her own. When her son finds a baby's skeleton buried in the garden, Anna must confront the island's troubled past, while finding a way to live with the complex demands of motherhood.
Probabilistic Knowledge
Sarah Moss argues that in addition to full beliefs, credences can constitute knowledge. She introduces the notion of probabilistic content and shows how it plays a central role not only in epistemology, but in the philosophy of mind and language. Just you can believe and assert propositions, you can believe and assert probabilistic contents.
