 The
Cunning Man (new edition)
by Celia Rees
Finn is haunted by terrifying dreams where a huge wave
threatens to engulf her in watery darkness. They have
been worse since she arrived at the Cornish cottage.
Then she discovers the strange curse that was laid upon
the cottage years ago, and she's sure vengeful Griffiths
has something to do with it. She's seen him, endlessly
tying and retying a length of rope, creating the knots
that - superstition has it - can conjure storms. Finn
knows that she's in mortal danger if she can't find
a way to break the curse...
