The Gracekeepers

“Electrifying…Like Emily St John Mandel’s Station Eleven, The Gracekeepers circles the peculiar business of the culture humans make, and tries to understand why we would persist in the direst circumstances. From the flotsam of the washed-out world, ersatz elements are pulled together – a little King Arthur, some rustic paganism, evangelical kitsch – to make something that is, after all, beautiful…This is a novel of the liminal and the liquid, seeking new ways of living together and new forms of life in a world that humans have transformed almost beyond the possibility of our own survival. As with any good descent, there is danger, devilish glamour and a resurfacing into sunlit salvation.”-Guardian

“Dreamlike…wonderfully imaginative…Memorable and beautiful.”—Daily Mail

"In luscious, vivid prose, Logan brings to mind Angela Carter, or Atwood or Winterson at their best"—Independent

“A highly original fantasy, set in a haunting sea-world both familiar and mysterious.”—Ursula K. Le Guin

"The Gracekeepers is an enchanting, magical tale, and Kirsty Logan’s writing is beautiful. Compelling and vivid, with Scottish lore woven lyrically throughout, The Gracekeepers explores such issues as loneliness and isolation, our innate tendencies to create divisions between ourselves and others, the consequences of long-ago actions, and, ultimately, the restoration of hope."—Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants and At the Water’s Edge
