Continuing our tradition of showcasing new writing talent, we are delighted to have secured

Sara Taylor


as she explodes onto the literary scene with her critically acclaimed debut The Shore

Published in March and long listed for the 2015 Bailey's prize  
(previously the Orange Prize), The Shore is a hugely accomplished
set of interwoven stories about two extended families living on
a group of tiny islands off the coast of Virginia.

Original and ambitious in scope and style, the book's vivid characters,   evocative landscape and mesmerising writing will stay with you
long after you have finished the last page.

We are thrilled to welcome Sara who has been described by critics as
"a terrific storyteller", "an exuberant talent"and "a beautiful writer".
