Heap Earth Upon It

A creeping story of sapphic obsession with Gothic undertones and a delicious mid-century feel, from the author of the Polari-shortlisted Sunburn.... January 1965. The orphaned O''Leary siblings - Tom, Jack, Anna and Peggy - arrive in the village of Ballycrea, tight-lipped about their troubled past and desperate for a fresh start. After being met with suspicion from most of the locals, the family are thrilled when they''re taken under the wing of their well-respected neighbours, Bill and Betty Nevan, who offer them work, companionship and an opportunity to fit in. But for one of the O''Learys, this new friendship sparks an intense attachment that makes the dynamic dangerous for all. It''s difficult to bury secrets, but almost impossible to bury feelings...
