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.
