The Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller, now a major TV series.

From the acclaimed author of Ghost Wall, Sarah Moss, Summerwater is a simmering story told over twenty-four hours in the Scottish Highlands.

'Superb' - The Times
'Sharp, searching . . . utterly of the moment' - Hilary Mantel, author of Wolf Hall
'Beautifully written, intense, powerful' - David Nicholls, author of One Day

It is the summer solstice, but in a faded Scottish cabin park the rain is unrelenting. Twelve families look on as the skies remain resolutely grey.

But there is one particular family, a mother and daughter, with the wrong clothes and the wrong manners. They start to draw the attention of the others. Who are they? Where are they from?

Tensions are rising, something is unravelling, and as darkness finally falls, a match is lit . . .

'A masterpiece' - Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist
'One of her best' - Irish Times
'So accomplished' - The Guardian
