About the book
Shaw is rebuilding his life after a breakdown. A rented room, a job on a crumbling London barge, and a fractured relationship with Victoria, a doctor’s daughter who grew up steeped in death. It isn’t much, but it’s enough—until shadows on the river begin whispering of conspiracies that feel less like theories and more like truth.
Victoria, meanwhile, is renovating her mother’s Midlands house. The neighbors are strange. The stories are stranger. A missing waitress. A pond no one dares approach. And an obsessive fascination with The Water Babies that runs like a curse through the town.
Winner of the Goldsmiths Prize, The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again is haunting, enigmatic, and brilliant—literary fiction that seeps under your skin.

About the book
On the anniversary of a teen’s disappearance, three friends face a deadly hometown reunion in this twisty suspense novel by a New York Times bestselling author.
On prom night, Caroline Winterfield walked away from the ruins of an abandoned mansion called Haven Cliff and into the woods…never to be seen again. Only her three best friends know what really happened. But a secret is a secret, and a promise is a promise—even when it shatters lifelong friendships.
On the twenty-fifth anniversary of that night, Midge, Kelly, and Talia reunite at Haven Cliff, now a gleaming architectural jewel. But they aren’t alone. Someone is watching. Someone who knows what really happened to Caroline—and to the man who now lies dead a stone’s throw from where she was last seen.
Police detective Midge knows she’s dealing with a murder the moment she sees the item clutched in his lifeless hand. Only three other people in the world would grasp its significance. That means Kelly and Talia are either involved or in danger, because Caroline is long gone…or is she?
