Unsettled Ground

SUSAN STRAIGHT, LOS ANGELES TIMES

"... brilliant and sly ... Inkbourne is the village, and Fuller shrewdly deconstructs romantic notions about places like this, revealing a scene closer to Gothic horror ... Julius finds them a dilapidated trailer deep in the spinney. Some of Fuller's best writing limns the history in these chalk ridges and forests ... Fuller's cottage stayed in my dreams, the wood range glowing."

ILANA MASAD,NPR.

".. gorgeous, specific descriptions abound throughout the book ... That the twins are resilient is clear early on, as they stoically face their mother's death. But it's their soft spots, their desires and wishes, their memories, and their musical talent...that slowly unfold throughout the narrative, giving readers glimpses at just how rich people's lives can be even when they're small, secluded, and private. Unsettled Ground is a terribly beautiful book, and although its premise may seem quiet, it is full of dramatic twists and turns right up until its moving, beautiful end."
