OUR GIFTED HEARTS
When she’s accused of witchcraft, Fortune must flee her village to spare her neck, marrying a man she barely knows. But is the man who promises to be her saviour all he seems?
Fortune Blyth suffered the loss of a secret child when she was sixteen and vowed never to let another man touch her. Ten years later she is content with Ma and her beloved birds.
But when witch hunters come to town it isn’t long before fingers are pointed at the spinster and she is forced to choose; stay and hang, or marry a man who can offer her safety far from home. She chooses marriage.
Her husband’s island home is not the safe haven she expected, with a surly housekeeper and an eccentric mother-in-law to contend with. And there is something else; secrets hiding in the walls, demons creeping in her nightmares and something sinister in the concealed tunnels below the house. Perhaps she would have been better off hanging after all…
This gothic, feminist retelling of the Bluebeard myth will appeal to readers of Laura Purcell, Stacey Halls, Catriona Ward and Susan Hill.
It has already attracted some wonderful author quotes:
'Our Gifted Hearts is a beautiful yet unsettling Gothic story about grief and self-forgiveness, breathing new life and a feminist perspective to this classic horror tale.'
Sunyi Dean (author of THE BOOK EATERS)
'Compulsively readable, romantic, and filled with fun and familiar tropes of the genre, OUR GIFTED HEARTS is a classic gothic novel that nonetheless manages to offer something new due to its witchy touch.'
Johanna Van Veen (author of MY DARLING DREADFUL THING)
'A gloriously gothic tale, yet Our Gifted Hearts still managed to surprise me. Creepy, mysterious and magical. I devoured it!'
Jodie Robins (author of THE OFF-SEASON)
'In the best gothic fairy tale tradition, Kennedy's Our Gifted Hearts offers readers a sumptuous retelling, with feisty heroine, Fortune, so much more than Bluebeard's latest wife (and his mother is something else!) The mysteries run dark and deep. Intriguing and compelling.'
Megan Taylor (author of THE THERAPIST'S DAUGHTER and WE WAIT)
Angry Robot will publish in the UK & US in October.
