WOMEN ROSE ROOTED

'You and me against the
world
, you used to sing. In the days before it became you and me against
each other.'

Cat Munro - who has never taken
a day off in her working life - quits her corporate job and starts flying
lessons in a small plane over the Arizona desert, confronting her fear not only
of death, but of life. Her mother, Laura, moves back to the Scottish village
where she spent the first years of her marriage to Cat's abusive father. Though
they are apart, the past connects mother and daughter, haunts them, binds them.

From the excoriating heat of
the Arizona desert to the misty flow of a Highland sea-loch, Sharon Blackie's
soaring first novel presents us with the transformative power of landscape, and
of storytelling, in women's lives.

Above all, The Long
Delirious Burning Blue
is a story of courage, endurance and redemption.

'It is
that rarity, a first novel that smacks of not merely confidence, but authority
... The ending is powerful,
filmic, and achieving the kind of symmetry that novels often aspire to, but
rarely reach.' The Scotsman
