A novel by

 
 
The Great West Wood is a magical realist novel set in the South London suburb of Westwood. A vibrant urban village set upon a hilltop, looking out across London, in an area once covered by an ancient forest.
This is a place where magic is taken for granted; where trees can talk; and children can float; and where a long-dead peat body can be resurrected.
Welcome to Westwood.

An original and propulsive mix of pagan magic and modern crime thriller.
M.R. Carey (author of ‘The Girl With All the Gifts’) after reading ‘The Great West Wood’.
