From the New York Times best-selling author of The Flight of Gemma Hardy, an unforgettable novel about a young woman whose gift of second sight complicates her coming of age in nineteenth-century Scotland "Bewitching and seductive." --Rebecca Makkai, author of I Have Some Questions for You - "Magical." --Allegra Goodman, author of Sam - "This book is a cold, clear, perfect lake." --Lauren Groff, author of The Vaster Wilds Growing up in the care of her grandparents on Belhaven Farm, Lizzie Craig discovers as a small child that she can see into the future. But her gift is selective--she doesn't, for instance, see that she has an older sister who will come to join the family. As her "pictures" foretell various incidents and accidents, she begins to realize a painful truth: she may glimpse the future, but she can seldom change it. Nor can Lizzie change the feelings that come when a young man named Louis, visiting Belhaven for the harvest, begins to court her. Why have the adults around her not revealed that the touch of a hand can change everything? After following Louis to Glasgow, though, she learns the limits of his devotion. Faced with a seemingly impossible choice, she makes a terrible mistake. But her second sight may allow her a second chance. Luminous and transporting, The Road from Belhaven "is a marvel... a story as thrilling as it is thoughtful, one animated by life's fundamental question: How do we change?" (Anthony Marra, author of Mercury Pictures Presents)
