Morvern Callar Cycle
2 primary works
Book 1
It is off-season in a remote Highland sea port: twenty-one-year-old Morvern Callar, a low-paid employee in the local supermarket, wakes one morning to find her strange boyfriend has committed suicide and is dead on their kitchen floor. Morvern's laconic reaction is both intriguing and immoral. What she does next is even more appalling...Winner of the Somerset Maugham Award.
Book 2
An aircrash investigator gathers fallen pieces of planes and a young woman arrives at the Drome Hotel, strangely familiar. A rave is organised for twisted characters: The Argonaut, The Knife Sharpener, and The Devil's Advocate converge for one last Saturday night at the Drome Hotel.
