It's rare to find a book which is every bit as intelligent and stylish as it is riveting - I was enthralled' - Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent.\nFrances Hardinge weaves a dark, otherworldly tale in A Skinful of Shadows, her first book since the Costa Award-winning The Lie Tree.\nWhen a creature dies, its spirit can go looking for somewhere to hide. \nSome people have space inside them, perfect for hiding.\nMakepeace, a courageous girl with a mysterious past, defends herself nightly from the ghosts which try to possess her. Then a dreadful event causes her to drop her guard for a moment.\nAnd now there's a ghost inside her.\nThe spirit is wild, brutish and strong, but it may be her only defence in a time of dark suspicion and fear. As the English Civil War erupts, Makepeace must decide which is worse: possession – or death.","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51606181609760,"sku":"9781509835508","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781509835508.jpg?v=1785332593","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/skinful-of-shadows-frances-hardinge-9781509835508","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
