FictionThe Waterstones Book of the Year 2016Shortlisted for the
2016 Costa Novel Award London, 1893. When Cora Seaborne's
controlling husband dies, she steps into her new life as a widow
with as much relief as sadness. Along with her son Francis - a
curious, obsessive boy - she leaves town for Essex, in the hope
that fresh air and open space will provide refuge. On arrival,
rumours reach them that the mythical Essex Serpent, once said to
roam the marshes claiming lives, has returned to the coastal parish
of Aldwinter. Cora, a keen amateur naturalist with no patience for
superstition, is enthralled, convinced that what the local people
think is a magical beast may be a yet-undiscovered species. As she
sets out on its trail, she is introduced to William Ransome,
Aldwinter's vicar, who is also deeply suspicious of the rumours,
but thinks they are a distraction from true faith. As he tries to
calm his parishioners, Will and Cora strike up an intense
relationship, and although they agree on absolutely nothing, they
find themselves at once drawn together and torn apart, affecting
each other in ways that surprise them both.The Essex
Serpent&,nbsp,is a celebration of love, and the many different
shapes it can take.
