    Don’t miss Stacey Halls’ captivating new novel THE HOUSEHOLD

    *WINNER of the WOMEN’S PRIZE FUTURES AWARD*

    A Waterstones Best Book of the Year

    Longlisted for the Walter Scott Prize

    Longlisted for the Portico Prize

    ‘Highly atmospheric and tense’ Richard Osman

    From the bestselling author of The Familiars and The Foundling comes Stacey Halls’ most compelling and ambitious novel to date.

    ‘Something’s not right here.’

    I was aware of Mr Booth’s eyes on me, and he seemed to hold his breath. ‘What do you mean?’

    ‘In the house. With the family.’

    West Yorkshire, 1904. When newly graduated nurse Ruby May takes a position looking after the children of Charles and Lilian England, a wealthy couple from a powerful dynasty of mill owners, she hopes it will be the fresh start she needs. But as she adapts to life at the isolated Hardcastle House, it becomes clear there’s something not quite right about the beautiful, mysterious Mrs England.

    Distant and withdrawn, Lilian shows little interest in her children or charming husband, and is far from the ‘angel of the house’ Ruby was expecting. As the warm, vivacious Charles welcomes Ruby into the family, a series of strange events forces her to question everything she thought she knew. Ostracised by the servants and feeling increasingly uneasy, Ruby must face her demons in order to prevent history from repeating itself. After all, there’s no such thing as the perfect family – and she should know.

    Simmering with slow-burning menace, Mrs England is a portrait of an Edwardian marriage, weaving an enthralling story of men and women, power and control, courage, truth and the very darkest deception. Set against the atmospheric West Yorkshire landscape, Stacey Halls’ third novel proves her one of the most exciting and compelling new storytellers of our times.

    ‘Full of gothic menace, this Edwardian mystery is convincing and absolutely enthralling’ Louise Hare, author of This Lovely City

    ‘Both dazzling and dark, as beautiful as it is disturbing. A captivating, sensuous novel’ Inga Vesper, author of The Long, Long Afternoon
