Descriere Pursuit of William Abbey - Claire North

'MESMERIC, TERRIFYING AND WONDERFUL' M. R. Carey, author of The Girl With All the Gifts \n \n From the award-winning and bestselling author of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August and 84K comes a powerful new novel that examines how the choices we make can haunt us forever . . . \n \n South Africa, 1884. William Abbey, an English doctor, watches white colonists lynch a Zulu child. As the boy dies, his mother curses William: wherever he goes, the shadow of her son will follow him. It will never stop, never rest. It can cross oceans and mountains. And if it catches him, the person he loves most in the world will die . . . \n \n But to those in power, William's curse might be a blessing, and as the world slides towards war, William must decide what he's willing to sacrifice in order to survive. \n \n Moving, thought-provoking and utterly gripping, Claire North's extraordinary new novel proves again that she is one of the most original and innovative voices in modern fiction. \n \n Praise for Claire North: \n \n 'An original and even dazzling writer' Kirkus \n \n 'North goes from strength to strength' Guardian \n \n 'A master of ingenious plotting and feats of imagination' Alex Marwood \n \n 'North's writing is terrific, smart and entertaining' Patrick Ness \n
