A psychological thriller in the tradition of Donna Tartt and Chloe Hooper.
When Alex Morris loses her fiancé in dreadful circumstances, she moves from London to Edinburgh to make a break with the past. Alex takes a job at a Pupil Referral Unit, which accepts the students excluded from other schools in the city. These are troubled, difficult kids and Alex is terrified of what she’s taken on.
There is one class – a group of five teenagers – who intimidate Alex and every other teacher on The Unit. But with the help of the Greek tragedies she teaches, Alex gradually develops a rapport with them. Finding them enthralled by tales of cruel fate and bloody revenge, she even begins to worry that they are taking her lessons to heart, and that a whole new tragedy is being performed, right in front of her ...
The Amber Fury is a beautifully constructed psychological page turner. It is a dark mystery of a novel about loss, obsession and the deep and abiding human need to connect.
'A gripping thriller, but also a beautifully drawn portrait of grief and how we find our way back to life.'
Madeline Miller, Orange Prize-winning author of The Song of Achilles
'Steady pacing paired with well-timed foreshadowing and fully realized characters make this one compelling from the beginning.'
Booklist
