Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab tells the tales of three young women. Their bodies are planted in the same soil, their stories intertwining like the roots of the trees that conceal them.
The first woman’s story takes place in 1532 in Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Hers is a story of hunger and, as she grows, she becomes wild and wily. She soon realises that she can only ever be a pawn in the games men play. Consequently, when a beguiling stranger offers her a different path Maria is forced to make a critical choice!
1827, London, a story about love. A brief dalliance with impermissible intimacy sees a young woman, torn from her home and family roots, and sent away to London. There she meets a charismatic widow, who offers her freedom. But at what price?
2019, Boston, where Alice moved halfway across the world, to make a new start at college. A foolish and uncharacteristic one-night stand, leaves her doubting herself and life in general. Looking for answers and revenge, she is determined to regain her self-esteem and sanity!
These are the stories of three women, set at different times in history. Fate has it that each woman has, in the end, no choice but to undergo a life-changing transformation that will give her a desperate hunger for the unimaginable! And, needless to say, change the lives of others irrevocably!
A must-read for adults who enjoy vampire fantasy novels.
