Julia Rochester’s first novel, The House at the Edge of the World, was longlisted for the Baileys Prize for Fiction and the Desmond Elliott Prize.
“[The House at the Edge of the World] grips, and its strength lies in the understanding of human behaviour that underlies the unexpected twists and turns.”
– Diana Athill“Enchanting and disturbing by turns, intriguing right to the end, this is a terrific debut.”
– The Times“Intricate and involving, with vivid passages of natural description — this is a writer to watch.”
– The Daily Mail
The House at the Edge of the World, published by Viking (Penguin) is now available in paperback.
