A worthy match for 3 a.m. disquiet, a book that evokes existential dread, but contains it, beautifully, like a shipwreck in a bottle
New Yorker
Further proof that Moss is one of our very best contemporary novelists.... Ghost Wall is an intoxicating concoction; inventive, intelligent, and like no other author's work
Independent
I'm a great fan of Sarah Moss's work; she combines poetic sensibility with great storytelling... Moss is brilliant on atmosphere

I love this book. Ghost Wall requires you to put your life on hold while you finish it. It draws you into its unusual world and, with quiet power and menace, keeps you there until the very last page. Silvie's story isn't one you will ever forget
Maggie O'Farrell This book ratcheted the breath out of me so skilfully, that as soon as I'd finished, the only thing I wanted was to read it again
Jessie Burton, author
The Miniaturist
Ghost Wall grabs you by the guts and never lets go. Dazzling
Elizabeth Day Eerie and gripping
Bookseller
Stunningly good... Over a staggeringly short distance Moss creates and manipulates an atmosphere of extreme tension... As the story edges towards its climax, Moss appears to collapse layers of history, to render skin and knife and rope identical across millennia

A coming-of-age story with rare power and startling depth

TLS
Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss makes me sad for England, now that Brexit is near...it is true to some idea of England - of landscape, tradition and deep history - which is being clawed back, by these writers, from English nationalism
