From a rising star of British fiction, a short, searing novel set in rural Wales in which a grieving farmer struggles to keep his life from falling apart.
‘Jones astutely marries his dispassionate landscape prose with a brittle emotional economy... remarkable’Literary Review
‘Frequently stellar... There is no doubt that he is one of the most talented writers in Britain’Independent on Sunday
‘It is raw, brutal stuff, and Jones tells it with freshly scoured clarity… a marvellous novel’ The Times
The Long DryA potent, prize-winning novel of rural life and familial loss – and an unforgettable introduction to one of the most distinctive new voices in British fiction.
When the farmer wakes at dawn, he can already feel the heat of the day rising and the silence from his wife hanging heavy in the air. As he sets out across his
parched fields to find a missing cow, his mind starts to turn over the dreams he harbours, the cares he and his wife both carry alone, and the uneasy sense that something is about to change. Written with clarity and depth, this is a powerful novel about the fragility of life and the small, unseen moments upon which fate twists.
‘Lovely, poignant, resonant’ Sarah Waters
‘A convincing glimpse of life in all its beauty and sadness’ Big Issue
‘Surely one of the best debut novels of recent years’ Jonathan Lee

From the acclaimed author of The Dig, a tautly crafted novel that packs the tension of a thriller and the emotional heft of a tragedy.
Take three strangers who all want something more. The Polish shift worker struggling to get a foothold in the new country; a fisherman who needs to make good on
a promise to his best friend; and the middle man, determined to make up for lost time and take a little of what he deserves. When a chance comes along, each man must weigh the risk – and then keep his nerve as events take on their own unstoppable momentum. Tightly plotted and sharply observed, this is a gripping story of desperation and duty, and the brutal struggle to progress.
‘An excellent novel. Beautiful and haunting...[it] will make your heart race’ Time Out ****
‘A compelling novel that confirms Jones as a thrilling new presence’ Western Mail

A serious and seriously entertaining exploration of the dark and varied obsessions that the ‘civilized West’ has had with decapitated heads and skulls, from a rising star of non-fiction writing.
Thehumanheadaccommodatesfourofourfivesenses,encasesthebrain,andconnectsour inner selves to the outer world.Yet
there is a dark side to the head’s pre-eminence.From the western collectors whose demand forshrunken heads spurred brutal massacres to theWWII soldiers who sent the remains of Japaneseopponents home to their girlfriends; fromMadameTussaud modelling the guillotined headof Robespierre to Damien Hirst photographingdecapitated heads in city morgues; from grave-robbing phrenologists to skull-obsessed scientists,Larson explores the bizarre, fantastical, andconfoundinghistoryoftheseveredhead,andoffersusanewperspectiveonamacabrepreoccupation.
