Literary fiction about secrecy, conscience and the long reach of the past.
Rae Campbell writes literary fiction that takes the momentum of the thriller and the patience of the historical novel and asks them to carry real moral weight. The work is drawn to power and its concealments—what institutions bury, what individuals are made to carry, and what refuses to stay hidden. Two novels are complete: The Cranes of Ibycus, set in the grey country between intelligence and the law, and Pallamaglio, set against the Battle of Trafalgar.
