The Stormwatcher

Graham Joyce's famously "lost" novel. A quietly supernatural thriller set in The Dordogne region of France in which a group of somewhat dysfunctional friends spend a two-week holiday in a lonely cottage. As the story progresses we discover that one of the party - an unnamed instructor whose identity is kept hidden until the end of the book - is engaged in secret lessons with the impressionable Jessie. Some people regard this book as one of his best while others just didn't get it!
"A remarkable, fine and almost unclassifiable book is a complete breath of fresh air" - Goodreads
"My awe for Graham Joyce is growing by the book." Amazon
"A powerhouse of a novel, calling to mind the work and styles of D. H. Lawrence and Graham Swift and the downbeat mysteries and the human flotsam and jetsam characters from the likes of Barbara Vine. Work of this stature and calibre that can only bode well for the future – both Joyce’s and that of the entire field - and I commend it to you unreservedly.” Interzone
