Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil

A novel spanning five centuries that explores immortality and hunger through three interconnected stories. In 1532 Santo Domingo de la Calzada, a young girl dreams of escape from a life where she can only be a prize or pawn in men's games. When a mysterious stranger offers an alternative path, María makes a desperate choice and vows to have no regrets. In 1827 London, a young woman living a sheltered life on her family's estate is sent away after a forbidden intimate moment. Charlotte's hopes are awakened by an invitation from a beautiful widow, but freedom comes at an unexpected cost. In 2019 Boston, Alice moves across the world for a fresh start at college. After a surprising one-night stand, she begins searching for answers about her past, present, and future, driven by a desire for revenge. These three narratives explore how life ends and how it begins.
