Representaion In Favor Of Books The Taxidermist's Daughter

The enthralling new novel from the bestselling author of The Winter Ghosts, Citadel and Labyrinth.

Sussex, 1912. In a churchyard, villagers gather on the night when the ghosts of those who will die in the coming year are thought to be seen. Here, where the estuary leads out to the sea, superstitions still hold sway.

Standing alone is the taxidermist's daughter. At 17, Constantia Gifford lives with her father in a decaying house: it is all that is left of Gifford's once world-famous museum of taxidermy. The stuffed animals that used to grace every parlour are out of fashion, leaving Gifford a disgraced and bitter man.

The bell begins to toll and all eyes are fixed on the church. No one sees the gloved hand pick up a flint. As the last notes fade into the dark, a woman lies dead.

While the village braces itself against rising waters and the highest tide of the season, Connie struggles to discover who is responsible, but finds herself under suspicion. Is Constantia who she seems - is she the victim of circumstances or are more sinister forces at work? And what is the secret that lies at the heart of Gifford House, hidden among the bell jars of her father's workshop?

Told over one summer, The Taxidermist's Daughter is the haunting new novel from the bestselling author of Labyrinth, Sepulchre, Citadel and The Winter Ghosts.

Appraise Out Of Books The Taxidermist's Daughter

Dear book, I sorta liked you but didn't. You gave me gardening feels, like I enjoyed but won't do you again in the next five years or so. I don't know I'm a bit conflicted, perhaps I'll write a more coherent review soon, but for now let me give you an

A really nicely paced and very well written gothic thriller from Kate Mosse. I have read the rest of Mosse's work and was suprised to find this book was very different. Both the story and style marks something quite new.The story , set in Edwardian England,centres around Connie and her gradual remembering of her life before a childhood accident while the past is catching up on quite nastily on most of the other characters around her. Taxidermy plays a big role in the plot without being boring,

Spooky and chilling, The Taxidermist's Daughter is a terrific Gothic novel, just right for this Halloween.

Tis now, replied the village belle,St Mark's mysterious eve,And all that old traditions tellI tremblingly believe;How, when the midnight signal tolls,Along the churchyard green,A mournful train of sentenced soulsIn winding sheets are seen.The ghosts of all whom death shall doomWithin the coming year,In pale procession walk the gloom,And the silence drear.Haunting, grim and dreary. This book has the atmosphere of a ghost story. In 1912 Fishburn on the soutcoast of England a young woman, Connie

"Who'll dig his grave? I, said the Owl, with my pick and my shovel, I'll dig his grave.'' Its the night before St. Marks day, 1912: on this dark night the people of Fishbourne come together in the church-yard to watch the souls of the future dead. On this night they will see who will die during this upcoming year. On this night, a young woman is murdered. Is her death an accidental slip of a knife? Or a dark omen for whats yet to come, to let the people of the town know that their days are

There are some books that are just magical and this is one of them. The author has done a magnificent job in creating a gothic novel with a strong sense of place and wonderful story telling. This book is so different from anything else I have read by this author and it is just spell binding. I was nervous about picking up a book that features taxidermy but it is done in such an interesting way that it posed no problems for me. I never came around to the concept that dead stuffed birds can be a
