The Arrival of Missives

Author: Aliya Whiteley
Publisher: Titan Books Ltd
Category: Fiction, Science Fiction
Book Format: Paperback

From the award-winning author of The Beauty, Aliya Whiteley, comes a genre-defying story of fate, free-will and the choices we make in life.

In the aftermath of the Great War, Shirley Fearn dreams of challenging the conventions of rural England, where life is as predictable as the changing of the seasons.

The scarred veteran Mr. Tiller, left disfigured by an impossible accident on the battlefields of France, brings with him a message: part prophecy, part warning. Will it prevent her mastering her own destiny?

As the village prepares for the annual May Day celebrations, where a new queen will be crowned and the future will be reborn again, Shirley must choose: change or renewal?

'One of the most original and haunting stories I have read in recent years.' - Nina Allan, author of The Rift
