The Sin Eater

A brilliant first novel by Megan Campisi. I found the very thinly veiled references to Elizabethan history quite tongue in cheek and amusing. A very emotive story, a few grim and ghastly moments but overall May's bright and guileless inner thoughts provided a sense of wry humour and more importantly, hope. I look forward to more works from Megan Campisi.

PS: I also found the cover art really stunning, one of my favourites ever.
