CONTAINS LOCAL ENGLISH DIALECT!

BOOK SUMMARY:
'It is 1951, and a remote mining village on the North Staffordshire Moors is cut off by snow for over three weeks. The old and the sick will die, the strongest will bunker down; and those with evil intent will bring to its conclusion a family vendetta spanning three generations.
Inspired by a true event, 'The Soprano' tells the story of Grace Holland - a strikingly beautiful, much admired local celebrity who brings glamour and inspiration to the grimy moorland community. But why is Grace still here? Why doesn't she leave this staunchly Methodist, rain-sodden place and the isolated farmhouse she shares with her mother?
Riddled with witchcraft and tales of superstition, the story is mostly narrated by the Whistler family who own the local funeral parlour, in particular six year old Louise - now an elderly lady - who recalls one of the most shocking crimes imaginable.'

Review Summary:

'A dark, spellbinding read...'
'Witchcraft and black magic of a very English nature...'
'The horrors creep up on you in the bedroom of an old, damp ridden cottage, in the dark heart of an ancient forest, and in one particular scene in the mortuary!'
'I stumbled on Sarah England's books by accident and haven't looked back since...'
'Complex and insightful.. she knows her stuff...'
