Helm

Sarah Hall

2025

Notes

Picked this up because Hall's previous book Burntcoat generated one of those core references between E and I. It's a series of interlinked(?) or overlapping (?) stories that all relate to Helm, England's only 'named wind'. I'm 1/4 in and it's great. Hall is obviously a great writer.
