When The Dead Come Calling out in paperback

 

I’m delighted to say that When The Dead Come Calling is now out in paperback!

It’s available in all good bookshops, and here I am signing copies in the wonderful Waterstones in Inverness:

 

When The Dead Come Calling


"Unputdownable. When the Dead Come Calling tracks the toxin which seeped into a village. If you read closer you will see who the 'key workers' are. Helen Sedgwick saw into the future and that future is now! It's an incredible book! READ IT." Lemn Sissay


"Helen Sedgwick has written a novel which creates an atmosphere and tension which suits these times – paranoid, uneasy, at times angry, but with a humanity which offers hope despite everything."  Scots Way Hae!

 

The Growing Season

 

"So enjoyed The Growing Season. Galloped my way to the conclusion, despite wishing it would never end. Smart & provocative." Carys Bray


"An elegant and ingenious narrative, told with skill and sensitivity." Meg Howrey


"Sedgwick keeps us in a suspenseful state of discomfort."  The Guardian


"Asks questions prevalent within today’s society regarding reproduction, feminism and what it means to be individual… beautifully written and incredibly thought-proving."  Book Snail Reads


The Comet Seekers

 

"Readers will be enveloped in the magical world that Sedgwick creates and will grapple with the big issues she tackles - love, family, freedom, and loneliness. Those drawn to intimate stories of family drama are sure to respond to this beautiful, character-driven novel, which is reminiscent of the work of Amy Bloom and Elizabeth Strout." Booklist


"[Helen Sedgwick] has created an enigmatic and original lead, the kind of girl who wonders, 'Why draw a square house with a triangular roof when you can draw the patterns in the stars?'" Irish Times


"A stellar love story that echoes down decades and centuries." Glamour


"A Spellbinding tale of love and loss, aglimmer with passion and melancholy."  Sunday Express, S Magazine


"Uniquely structured and stylistically fascinating, the multilayered story comes full circle in a denouement that is both heartbreaking and satisfying." Publishers Weekly


"A gorgeous novel that should resonate with fans of Audrey Niffenegger’s The Time Traveller’s Wife… A breathtaking tale full of love, hope and heartbreak. You’ll be utterly captivated from the first page." Elle, Book of the Month
