From the award–winning author of The Lie Tree, “a delicious combination of historical adventure, coming-of-age tale, and supernatural intrigue” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
Sometimes, when a person dies, their spirit goes looking for somewhere to hide. Some people have space within them, perfect for hiding
Young Makepeace has learned to defend herself from the ghosts that try to possess her in the night, desperate for refuge, but one day a dreadful event causes her to drop her guard. And now there’s a spirit inside her.
The spirit is wild, brutish, and strong, and it may be her only defense when she is sent to live with her father’s rich and powerful family. There is talk of civil war, and they need people like her to protect their dark and terrible family secret. But as she plans to escape and heads out into a country torn apart by war, Makepeace must decide which is worse: possession—or death.
“Darkly splendid . . . a wonderful, resonant narrative whose subtlety and insight will challenge, entertain and enchant.” —The Guardian
“A Skinful of Shadows is outlandishly creative and thoroughly blood-chilling. Her storytelling is visceral and unfurls at an exciting pace, making this novel a wonderful, weird and terrifying addition to her body of work.” —Shelf Awareness (starred review)
“A book that only Hardinge could write . . . [a] masterful and spooky historical fantasy.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
“Hardinge’s writing is stunning, and readers will be taken hostage by its intensity, fascinating developments, and the fierce, compassionate girl leading the charge.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Deliberate, impeccable, and extraordinary.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Absolutely amazing author, Philip K Dick has an equal. She puts the spotlight on and finds the human condition through the telling of surprising stories. A role model for creating girl heroes that stand up for themselves. Highly recommend for any age reader.

Great narration and cool story - drags a bit though, and the main character is rather bland

The start is somewhat wobbly, but actually, this story is keeping you in suspense throughout the whole book.

Mycket finäventyrsbok med rar huvudperson

Helt enkelt en riktigt bra bok! Lätt att komma in i, utmärkt story-pacing och långt ifrån förutsägbar. Rakt igenom en mysig läsupplevlese trots att det förekommer mycket misär för huvudpersonen. Enda bristerna var att det kunde vara lite väl snabba hopp ibland och att huvudpersonen lite väl ofta bara "råkar" vara på rätt plats så hon kan tjuvlyssna eller tjuvtitta på något viktigt. Men det var inget som störde alltför mycket. Läs denna, bara läs! Tror det här är en sån bok de flesta skulle gilla, oavsett smak.
