'An extraordinary achievement' A. L. Kennedy
'An enjoyably uncategorisable and atmospheric book, a richly dark and idiosyncratic fairytale for grownups.' The Guardian
Edward Carey's witty and entrancing story of a young woman trapped in a ramshackle English playhouse - and the mysterious figure who threatens its very survival.
Fascinated by tales of the city she knows only from afar, young Edith decides to write a play of her own about Mawther Meg, a monstrous figure said to have used the blood of countless children to make the local delicacy, Beetle Spread. But when her father suddenly announces his engagement to a peculiar woman named Margaret Unthank, Edith scrambles to protect her father, the theatre, and her play - the one thing that's truly hers - from the newcomer's sinister designs.
Teeming with unforgettable characters and illuminated by Carey's trademark illustrations, Edith Holler is a surprisingly modern fable of one young woman's struggle to escape her family's control and craft her own creative destiny.
