A dark and atmospheric historical novel of survival, forbidden love and secrets in a medieval convent.
In AD 990, Hilda lives as the healer of an isolated community of holy sisters surrounded by the dangerous Norfolk Fens. When a young servant boy disappears into the mere and mysterious Sister Wulfrun arrives claiming that a curse has fallen upon them, tensions inside the convent begin to fracture. A great read for fans of the historical religious anxiety of The Witch.
All Nightmare Nook Books are selected by our chief Book Ghoul, Cat. Here’s why Mere found its way into the Nook:
“When I first moved to Norfolk, I knew there must be many stories to tell. The county is steeped in folklore, and Mere applies that to the county’s Fens and takes us back in time to the medieval era to create something incredibly atmospheric, described by Lucy Rose (The Lamb) as ‘haunting and beautiful’.”
