The heatwave of 1976. Following the accidental drowning of her sister,
sixteen-year-old Nif and her family move to a small village on the Welsh
borders to escape their grief. But rural seclusion doesn't bring any
relief.
As her family unravels, Nif begins to put together her
own form of witchcraft - collecting talismans from the sun-starved land.
That is, until she meets Mally, a teen boy who takes a keen interest in
her, and has his own secret rites to divulge. Reminiscent of the
suspense of Shirley Jackson and soaked in the folk horror of the British
landscape, Water Shall Refuse Them is an atmospheric coming-of-age
novel and a thrilling debut.
