Description
When you live on the edge of society, it only takes one step to fall between the cracks. Twins Jeanie and Julius have always been different from other people. At 51, they still live with their mother, Dot, in rural isolation and poverty. Inside the walls of their old cottage they make music, while in the garden they grow, and sometimes kill, everything they need for sustenance. When Dot dies suddenly, threats to their livelihood begin to rain down. Jeanie and Julius will do anything to preserve their small sanctuary against the perils of the outside world, even as their mother’s secrets begin to unravel, putting everything they thought they knew about their lives at stake. Unsettled Ground is a powerful novel of betrayal and resilience, love and survival. It portrays life on the fringes of society and explores with dazzling emotional power how people can build their lives on broken foundations and spin light from darkness.
