The Books Oracle

Sundial

by Catriona Ward

A mother brings her daughters to a remote desert house called Sundial to reveal a terrible family truth, but the compound itself harbors even darker secrets. Ward delivers a labyrinthine psychological thriller where reality fractures and maternal horror spirals into something deeply unsettling. A masterclass in unreliable narration and creeping dread.
