Description
In 1920s Edinborough, Scotland, Evelyn Hazard is a young, middle-class housewife living the life she's always expected--until her husband Robert upends everything with a startling announcement: he can communicate with the dead.
As the couple is pulled into the spiritualist movement--an underground, occult society of ritual and magic that emerged following the mass deaths of the Spanish Flu and First World War--Evelyn's carefully composed world begins to unravel. And when long-held secrets from her past threaten to come to the surface, presenting her with the prospect of losing all she holds dear, Evelyn finds herself unable to avoid the question: is the man she loves a fraud, a madman or--most frighteningly--is he telling the truth?
Cloaked in a moody, beguiling backdrop of twentieth-century Scotland, Anbara Salam's Hazardous Spirits brings a sparkling sense of period detail and dry humor to the life of a young woman calibrating her place in a changing world, and her shifting relationship with a man she thought she knew.
