About this book

'One of my favourite storytellers' - Kiran Millwood Hargrave

'An incredible and unique imagination' - Irish Times

In a lighthouse on a crumbling coastline, two greying wives keep the fires lit, reading futures in fish scales and sending signals into the dark, while a monster with an almost human face circles their garden, sly and hungry.

Further up the coast, a woman experiencing strange cravings after an intense heartbreak feels herself pulled to the light at the cliff's edge, where she might finally be able to satisfy her hunger.

A wild take on the goriness of romantic hunger,
Oracle is the debut novel for adults by award-winning writer Moïra Fowley - an unforgettable exploration of love, desire and possession.
