Description
Whiteadder, 1973.
In a row of cottages by the Whiteadder river on the Scottish Borders, twelve-year-old Kit watches the adults in his life - his mum Bronwyn, and the hopeless folk band she has spent his childhood trailing - in pursuit of the Sixties rural idyll.
Then out of the wilderness arrives Jonathan. Cloaked in mystery, he quickly infiltrates the commune, subverting its hierarchies. Only Kit can see how dangerous this outsider is. As winter draws in and darkness falls, he is forced into drastic measures beyond his years.
Wolfspider, 1974.
Kit, now a teenage runaway, arrives in London. Lost in the city, from the Soho amusement arcades to private Bayswater parties to the squat scene of Ladbroke Grove, he finds safety and friendship with fellow outsiders.
But Kit is haunted by a secret - a terrible violence buried in the Scottish borders that threatens to work its way to surface the and uproot everything he has built…
A haunting, visionary and exhilarating epic - about darkness and decay, landscape and freedom, music and mythology - Whiteadder/Wolfspider is a triumphant work by one of the most exciting writers at work today.
