Episode 134 - VERGE

The day that Rowena Murray was born, two-hundred-and-fifty starlings dropped dead out of the sky. Or so her mother says. Ever since, she has been marked by Death. First came the visions; then her boyfriend died suddenly. Now Death has taken her father, too.

Salvation, Rowena is told, lies to the North: in Culcrith, where her grandmother can save her from the curse...

We meet author Nadia Attia who discusses her debut novel 'Verge' and the folklore behind its story.
