We are delighted to welcome back to Ely the distinguished winner of both the Whitbread and Orange prizes. In the past, Rose Tremain’s novels have had settings as diverse as 16th Century Denmark and 19th Century New Zealand. Now, in Trespass, she evokes the haunted heartland of contemporary France in a typically vivid and involving tale that brings English and French characters into violent conflict. Combining the driving suspense with incomparable descriptive skills, this book confirms Tremain as a writer of truly inexhaustible range and talent.
