À propos de cet e-book

“Gabe and I are happy this way. We don’t need anyone else in our lives.”

Mariana feels like a pawn in other people’s games. Her birth mother is ill and opportunities for them to be reconciled are running out.

Despite being adopted, Mariana has always felt secure with who she is. But both sides of her birth family are now closing in, and whatever she decides will irrevocably alter many lives; most of all the man and woman who created her.

Of His Bones is about predestination and choices. It explores themes of familial love, identity and the powerful hold of the past. Set in the seascapes of East and North Yorkshire, this novel is the sister-book to The Last Time We Saw Marion.

À propos de l'auteur

Tracey Scott-Townsend is the author of uncompromising family dramas which delve into often uncomfortable aspects of relationships of all kinds, but motherhood is frequently at the heart of her stories. Sense of place is also important. Three of her books feature the Humber Estuary in East Yorkshire, where she lived for a year when she was young. Tracey writes in her shed in the garden, warmed by the wood stove. She and her husband frequently take to the road with their dog, Riley, in a van which also has a wood stove. They go to wild places. Tracey's favourite is the Outer Hebrides, the setting for a future novel. Tracey is the mother of four grown children. She is also editorial director of Wild Pressed Books, a small publishing company she runs with her husband Phil Scott-Townsend. They published their first three books in 2016, one of which is Tracey's third novel, The Eliza Doll. Of His Bones, her fourth, marks a return to publication with Inspired Quill.
