'If you were eighty, and you'd spent your whole life not letting yourself love him, and he was eighty, and he'd never been turned to stone - how much would you regret it?'

The island of Stenland is cursed: women, chosen at random, awaken with three black slashes on their forehead. The first person they meet eyes with turns to stone.

This is how Tess Eriksson's mother killed Soren Fell's parents. It was an accident, but that has never made it any easier to forgive.

Since then, all Tess has wanted is to leave Stenland. All Soren has wanted is to stay.

The only thing they want more . . . is each other.

But how can you love one person more than everything else combined? And how do you take the risk on love, if it could mean destroying the person you hold most dear?

Industry Reviews

A lyrical, melancholy, and deeply moving story about the people we love and the places we long for, even when we know we shouldn't. Aching and poignant - Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning

A thoroughly modern love story set against a backdrop of ancient mythology, it evokes perfectly that feeling of, at long last, finding the only place in this world that is home. Deeply atmospheric, profound, and beautiful - James Goodhand, author of The Day Tripper

With her signature atmospheric prose and incisive eye for detail, Robson will make you yearn for a place you've never been. A bittersweet, hopeful tale about what it means to belong to a place - and how love is a risk worth taking - Allison Saft, New York Times bestselling author of A Far Wilder Magic

Star-crossed lovers, a remote island, a deadly curse...A Curse for the Homesick is an emotionally-charged rollercoaster that is as sexy as it is haunting. You won't want to put it down, but you might have to once in a while just to catch your breath. - Ruth Emmie Lang, author of The Wilderwoman
