Deep in the rugged Appalachians of North Carolina lies the cove, a dark, forbidding place where spirits and fetches wander. Or so the townsfolk of Mars Hill believe - just as they know that Laurel Shelton, the lonely young woman who lives within its shadows, is a witch. Alone except for her brother, Hank, she aches for her life to begin. Then it happens - a stranger appears, carrying a note explaining that his name is Walter, he is mute, and is bound for New York.
"Starred Review. ...so good it gives you chills... Even better than the bestselling Serena..."
Kirkus Reviews
"Grade: A. ...gripping...The Cove isn't just an elegant work of literary fiction, written in a voice that's hauntingly simple and Southern; it's also a riveting mystery."
Entertainment Weekly
"4 out of 4 stars. In Rash's skilled hands, even farm chores take on a meditative beauty."
