    NO EXIT PRESS AUGUST 2020 – JUNE 2021 NEW BOOKS AND BACKLIST NO EXIT PRESS 1 THE INNOCENTS MICHAEL CRUMMEY RICHLY IMAGINED AND COMPULSIVELY READABLE, THE INNOCENTS IS A RIVETING STORY OF HARDSHIP AND SURVIVAL, AND AN UNFLINCHING EXPLORATION OF THE BOND BETWEEN SIBLINGS. In centuries past, a brother and sister are orphaned in an isolated outport cove on Newfoundland’s northern coastline. Their home is a stretch of rocky shore governed by the feral ocean and a relentless pendulum of abundance and murderous scarcity. Still children with only the barest notion of the outside world, they have nothing but their family’s boat and the little knowledge passed on haphazardly by their mother and father to help them survive. Muddling through the severe round of the seasons, through years of meagre catches and storms and ravaging illness, it is their fierce loyalty to each other that motivates and sustains them. But as seasons pass and they wade deeper into the mystery of their own natures, even that loyalty will be tested. ‘A gripping and credible page-turner about children surviving in the wilderness, but more than that: this Adam and Eve struggle to make sense of a world that’s somewhere between Eden and Hell. Michael Crummey writes like an avenging angel, p h o never putting a word wrong’ t o : A n , author of Room d – EMMA DONOGHUE r e w M a c C o r ‘Imagine Into the Wild with prepubescents, m a c told in the voice of a William Blake acolyte as k verbally inventive as Tolkien… The Innocents is a survivor narrative and a psychological thriller, a chilling study in isolation’ – VULTURE MICHAEL CRUMMEY was born in Buchans, a mining town in the interior of Newfoundland, growing up there and in western Labrador.
