Book description
Bibi feels out of place everywhere - everywhere that is, except for
Tyme's End, the deserted house that she breaks into when she thinks
nobody is nearby. There she unexpectedly meets Oliver Gardner, the owner
of the house, who's just returned after ten years away. Their story and
the story of Oliver's grandfather becomes inextricably entwined, linked
as they are by Tyme's End itself. For Tyme's End is more than just a
deserted house. It is a house that by turns can be romantic, beguiling,
sinister and malevolent. It is a house that had a cruel and manipulative
owner. And anybody who enters Tyme's End must prepare themselves for
terror . . .
Part mystery, part psychological thriller, set in the present yet with
forays into the past, this is a cleverly ambitious novel that makes for
a compulsive and gripping read. B. R. (Bridget) Collins is a graduate
of both university and drama school. Her first novel, The Traitor Game
, was published to much acclaim. It won the Branford Boase Award in 2009
and was longlisted for the 2009 Carnegie Medal. A Trick of the Dark
, Bridget's second novel, is just published. Bridget lives in Tunbridge
Wells, Kent.
