EVERYONE DIES FAMOUS IN A SMALL TOWN (Wendy Lamb Books/Penguin Random House and Faber & Faber, April 2021)

Interconnected stories from small towns across the American West and Northwest. The repercussions of wildfire, a scurrilous priest, a mysterious disappearance, and a monstrous and unsolved crime ricochet across communities, linking stories in which love takes many forms and ordinary actions such as ice-skating or going to church reveal hidden truths. Siblings save each other. Revenge is possible, and so is redemption. 

Shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and winner of the Berkshire Book award, UK. 2022

THE SMELL OF OTHER PEOPLE’S HOUSES (Wendy Lamb Books/Penguin Random House 2016)

Alaska, 1970. Told in alternating voices, this is the story of Ruth, Dora, Alice and Hank: teenagers whose quirky, tragic and interconnected lives are shaped as much by their unsentimental environment, as the families they’re born into.

Translations of The Smell Of Other People’s Houses are also available in Swedish, Russian, German, Spanish, Polish and Italian. (Coming soon in Ukrainian)

Shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and winner of The German Literature Prize, (Sonja Finck, translator) and the Swedish Children’s Literature Prize, (Helena Hansson, translator), among other accolades.
