When The Dead Come Calling launched!

January saw a series of wonderful book launches for When The Dead Come Calling. I introduced the book to packed out audiences in Inverness and Glasgow, and later in the month to Edinburgh. A huge thank you to all the brilliant authors and chairpeople who have joined me: Claire Askew, Viccy Adams, Mary Paulson-Ellis, Gill Tasker, SG MacLean, Barbara Henderson, Jennifer Morag Henderson and Margaret Kirk. 

Here are some photos. I am over the moon that this novel is now out in the world!

When The Dead Come Calling


"Unputdownable. When the Dead Come Calling tracks the toxin which seeped into a village. If you read closer you will see who the 'key workers' are. Helen Sedgwick saw into the future and that future is now! It's an incredible book! READ IT." Lemn Sissay


"Helen Sedgwick has written a novel which creates an atmosphere and tension which suits these times – paranoid, uneasy, at times angry, but with a humanity which offers hope despite everything."  Scots Way Hae!

 

The Growing Season

 

"So enjoyed The Growing Season. Galloped my way to the conclusion, despite wishing it would never end. Smart & provocative." Carys Bray


"An elegant and ingenious narrative, told with skill and sensitivity." Meg Howrey


"Sedgwick keeps us in a suspenseful state of discomfort."  The Guardian


"Asks questions prevalent within today’s society regarding reproduction, feminism and what it means to be individual… beautifully written and incredibly thought-proving."  Book Snail Reads


The Comet Seekers

 

"Readers will be enveloped in the magical world that Sedgwick creates and will grapple with the big issues she tackles - love, family, freedom, and loneliness. Those drawn to intimate stories of family drama are sure to respond to this beautiful, character-driven novel, which is reminiscent of the work of Amy Bloom and Elizabeth Strout." Booklist


"[Helen Sedgwick] has created an enigmatic and original lead, the kind of girl who wonders, 'Why draw a square house with a triangular roof when you can draw the patterns in the stars?'" Irish Times


"A stellar love story that echoes down decades and centuries." Glamour


"A Spellbinding tale of love and loss, aglimmer with passion and melancholy."  Sunday Express, S Magazine


"Uniquely structured and stylistically fascinating, the multilayered story comes full circle in a denouement that is both heartbreaking and satisfying." Publishers Weekly


"A gorgeous novel that should resonate with fans of Audrey Niffenegger’s The Time Traveller’s Wife… A breathtaking tale full of love, hope and heartbreak. You’ll be utterly captivated from the first page." Elle, Book of the Month
