THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL - ANBARA SALAM KART...

When Bea Hanlon follows her preacher husband Max to a remote island in the Pacific  she soon
sees that their mission will bring anything but salvation... Advent Island is a place beyond
the reaches of Bea's most fitful imaginings. It's not just the rats and the hordes of mosquitos
and the weevils in the powdered milk. Past the confines of their stuffy little house  amidst
the damp and the dust and the sweltering heat  rumours are spreading of devil chasers who roam
the island on the hunt for evil spirits. And then there are the noises from the church at
night. Yet  to the amusement of the locals and the bafflement of her husband  Bea gradually
adapts to life on the island. But with the dreadful events heralded by the arrival of an
unexpected  wildly irritating and always-humming house guest  Advent Island becomes a hostile
place once again. And before long  trapped in the jungle and in the growing fever of her
husband's insanity  Bea finds herself fighting for her freedom  and for her life. 'I was sucked
into its dark beating heart and wasn't spat out until I'd turned the final page' Claire Fuller'
'Dark  mysterious  beguiling  and beautifully written. It transported me to a different world'
Dolly Alderton 'An excellent  blackly funny debut ... a novel whose growing environmental and
psychological horrors you can feel crawling across your skin' Daily Mail
