Praise for this book
Like Howards End, Trespass proves that the vagaries of real estate can make for dramatic fiction...[Rose Tremain] grabs her readers by their ankles and dangles them over the abyss. She spares us nothing and she never lets us go.--David Leavitt "New York Times Book Review"
A gothic novel, dark and eerie...Rose Tremain is a maestro.--Jane Smiley "Washington Post"
Explores, in an agreeably creepy way, notions about the stewardship of land both wild and cultivated...[a] potent little horror story.--Donna Rifkind "Wall Street Journal"
Two pairs of siblings and their twisted pasts converge in this gripping, dark novel from Orange Prize-winner Tremain (The Road Home)...Tremain renders this untamed area with haunting prose.-- "Publishers Weekly"
This is a terrific book: accomplished in its poised, imaginative storytelling and in its vivid, sensual rendering of landscape and character, emotion, and memory.-- "The Times"
[Tremain] knows how to stretch a good yarn, and this one...has an effortless ease to it.-- "Financial Times"
The story Tremain weaves between her pair of siblings is taut and full of suspense...Trespass evinces a steely grip on corrupt human nature.-- "The Guardian"
A thoroughly engrossing psychological thriller...Tremain's writing is both vivid and wonderfully compressed, the eye that is cast over proceedings unblinking...From an apparent idyll, Tremain has summoned a spirit of profound disquiet and, as with all her best writing, revealed the anguish that can lie just below the surface of everyday lives.-- "The Independent"
The book feels timeless but rooted, tangible but otherworldly. Meticulously plotted, with the must sadness that comes of cleaving to the past, Trespass will reward your reading...and have you questioning if blood is thicker than water after all.-- "Scotland on Sunday"
