Oh my bloody goodness- what a satisfying read. Zoë Apostolides has a glorious voice. Huge thanks to @saltpublishing.com - if one of you hadn’t followed me here, I’d never have bought this. #Superb #Eerie #NewFiction
Happy publication day to our author Zoë Apostolides 🎉 Her debut novel THE HOMECOMING is a quietly disturbing part mystery, part ghost story, about isolation, memory, spirits and secrets, intergenerational friendship and motherhood. Published by @saltpublishing.com
