Tirzah and the Prince of Crows - From the Women''s Prize Longlisted Author

From the award-winning author, a hauntingly beautiful coming of age novel set in the Welsh valleys of the 1970s
Tirzah has lived a life of seclusion in a staunchly religious family.
But when she begins to struggle against the confines of her community, trying to find her own way in the world, life takes an unexpected turn that ultimately teaches her that freedom springs from within.
Written with an almost fable-esque quality and drawing on Welsh mythology, Tirzah and the Prince of Crows is an intensely immersive, layered and powerful novel about life forces and the healing power of love.
