Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil
Santo Domingo de la Calzada, 1532.
London, 1837.
Boston, 2019.
Three young women, their bodies planted in the same soil, their stories tangling like roots.
One grows high, and one grows deep, and one grows wild.
And all of them grow teeth.

E.’ Schwab is the No. 1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of more than twenty books, including the international sensation The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, the acclaimed Shades of Magic universe, the Villains series, the City of Ghosts trilogy, Gallant and The Fragile Threads of Power.
When not haunting Paris streets or trudging up English hillsides, she lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, and is usually tucked in the corner of a coffee shop, dreaming up monsters.
A word from V
“It’s such an honour to have any novel chosen for the BBC Radio 2 Book Club, but it means so much to have this novel chosen in particular. Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil is a work about hunger—the hunger to be seen, to be loved, and to take up space in a world that tells you to want less, need less, be less. To know that libraries and the champions who work in them have made space for my messy, imperfect complicated women and their story of immortality and rage—and that thanks to them, Bones will reach so many new readers—is an absolute thrill.”
