批評家のレビュー

"An atmospheric thriller that's both heart-breaking and heart-warming." (Red)
あらすじ・解説
Brought to you by Penguin.
Winner of The Costa Novel Award 2021.
Shortlisted for The Women's Prize 2021.
When you live on the edge of society, it only takes one step to fall between the cracks.
Twins Jeanie and Julius have always been different from other people. At 51 years old, they still live with their mother, Dot, in rural isolation and poverty. Inside the walls of their old cottage, they make music, and in the garden they grow (and sometimes kill, everything they need for sustenance.
But when Dot dies suddenly, threats to their livelihood start raining down. Jeanie and Julius would do anything to preserve their small sanctuary against the perils of the outside world, even as their mother's secrets begin to unravel, putting everything they thought they knew about their lives at stake.
Unsettled Ground is a heart-stopping novel of betrayal and resilience, love and survival. It is a portrait of life on the fringes of society that explores with dazzling emotional power how we can build our lives on broken foundations and spin light from darkness.
