Sarah Hall's fame as a writer has been rising steadily since her debut novel, Haweswater, appeared in 2002. With each succeeding novel she has broken new ground and captivated new audiences, and her fifth, The Wolf Border, received international acclaim. The essays in this collection - the first book-length study of Hall's work to be made available to academic and non-academic readers - bear witness to her originality and versatility. They situate Hall's work within wider intellectual and literary traditions, British and international contexts, and offer an essential guide to an essential writer. 'This illuminating collection offers an overdue scholarly appraisal of Sarah Hall's fictional oeuvre to date. The essays explore questions of genre, style, national and devolutionary politics, feminism, environmentalism, and survival. Particular attention is paid to the creaturely human animals that populate Hall's fiction and the visceral, subcutaneous vitalism that unspools settled notions of species and subjectivity in her work. Essential reading for anyone with an interest in this important contemporary British writer.'Caroline Edwards, Birkbeck, University of London'In this wide-ranging and comprehensive collection, Beaumont and D'hoker have assembled an impressive range of critics and essays on a writer whose reputation in literary studies has been gradually building over the last two decades ... Sarah Hall: Critical Essays will help to cement Hall's place in the ranks of the best in contemporary literature and achieves what all good literary criticism should - it takes you back to the fiction with fresh eyes and new perspectives.'Nick Bentley, Keele University

From Booker and Orange Prize-nominated author Sarah Hall comes the tale of an imaginary England, a future dystopian society where the right to bear a child is determined by a state lottery system.In this stunning novel Sarah Hall draws on the work of Margaret Atwood and George Orwell to imagine a dystopic England where terrifying new systems of control are in place and reproduction has become a lottery. When a girl known only as "Sister" escapes the confines of her increasingly repressive marriage to find an isolated group of women living on a remote northern farm, she must find out whether she has it in herself to become an active insurgent.This fascinating novel considers what lengths women will go to in a brutalized world in order to resist their oppressors, what tactics they must employ to survive and remain free. But the story asks a wider and more difficult question: under what circumstances might an ordinary person become a terrorist?

From the award-winning author of Burntcoat and The Electric Michelangelo, one of the most decorated young British writers working today, comes a literary masterpiece: a breathtaking work that beautifully and provocatively surveys the frontiers of the human spirit and our animal drives.For almost a decade, zoologist Rachel Caine has lived a solitary existence far from her estranged family in England, monitoring wolves in a remote section of Idaho as part of a wildlife recovery program. But a surprising phone call takes her back to the peat and wet light of the Lake District where she grew up. The eccentric Earl of Annerdale has a controversial scheme to reintroduce the Grey Wolf to the English countryside, and he wants Rachel to spearhead the project. Though she's skeptical, the earl's lands are close to the village where she grew up, and where her aging mother now lives.While the earl's plan harks back to an ancient idyll of untamed British wilderness, Rachel must contend with modern-day realities--health and safety issues, public anger and fear, cynical political interests. But the return of the Grey unexpectedly sparks her own regeneration.Exploring the fundamental nature of wilderness and wildness, The Wolf Border illuminates both our animal nature and humanity: sex, love, conflict, and the desire to find answers to the question of our existence--the emotions, desires, and needs that rule our lives.

"Sarah Hall's writing has conquered the body and the soul and now it conquers the wind itself. She gets better with every word she writes."-Daisy Johnson, author of Sisters and The HotelFrom the twice-Booker-nominated writer of Burntcoat, a bold and astonishing literary masterpiece that explores faith, connection, and our relationship to the natural world.Helm is a ferocious, mischievous wind -- a subject of folklore and awe, part-elemental god, part-aerial demon blasting through the sublime landscape of Northern England since the dawn of time.Through the stories of those who've obsessed over Helm, an extraordinary history is formed: the Neolithic tribe who tried to placate Helm, the Dark Age wizard priest who wanted to banish Helm, the Victorian steam engineer who attempted to capture Helm -- and the farmer's daughter who fiercely loved Helm. But now Dr. Selima Sutar, surrounded by infinite clouds and measuring instruments in her observation hut, fears human pollution is killing Helm.Rich, wild, and vital, Helm is the story of a singular life force, and of the relationship between nature and people, neither of whom can weather life without the other.

'Fierce and sensuous.' Guardian 'Exquisitely crafted.' Sunday Telegraph 'Astonishing . . . A writer of rare vision and talent.' Sunday Times From the speed and heat of summer London, to the heathered fells and lowlands of Cumbria with their history of smouldering violence, to an eerily still lake in the Finnish wilderness, Sarah Hall evokes landscapes with extraordinary precision and grace. The characters within these territories are real-life survivors, but whether it's a frustrated housewife seeking extreme experience or a young woman contemplating the death of her lover, dark devices and desires rise to the surface. And the human body, too - flawed, visceral, and full of emotional conflict - provides a sensuous frame for each unfolding drama.Uniquely disturbing and deeply erotic, this collection confirms Sarah Hall as one of the greatest writers of her generation.
