Book of the Month
The Black Monk
Charlotte Grimshaw
The latest novel from Charlotte Grimshaw, best-selling author of The Mirror Book.
A woman haunted by family denial, secrets and a shadowy figure.
While Alice Lidell’s brother Cedric spirals into addiction, she finds herself confronted not only by his decline, but by memories of past experiences. From their chaotic Auckland childhood to her present day life, Alice is haunted by a mysterious figure she calls the Black Monk.
As Alice tries to hold her family together, the Black Monk appears in various guises- a stranger met in a cemetery, a face on television, a character surfacing in her own writing. Part psychological thriller, part family saga, this is a daring novel that examines the themes of the moment- shame, addiction, truth and the stories we tell to survive.
