The Knowing is a historical fiction book by Liz Hyder that has been selected as the book of the month by The Sunday Times. The book is described as vivid, visceral, and utterly immersive, with a gothic atmosphere that transports readers to the slums of 19th-century New York.
The story follows Flora, a tattooed mystic who fights for her life in the decaying criminal underworlds. Flora meets Minnie, an enigmatic circus performer who offers her love and refuge in an opulent townhouse, home to the menacing Mr. Chester Merton. Flora earns her keep by reading tarot cards for his guests while struggling to harness her gift, the Knowing, an ability to summon the dead.
Caught in a dark love triangle between Minnie and Chester, Flora begins to unravel the secrets inside their house. The Knowing is a stunning debut inspired by real historical characters, including Maud Wagner, one of the first known female tattoo artists, New York gang the Dead Rabbits, and characters from PT Barnum's circus.
The book has received critical acclaim for its vivid storytelling, compelling characters, and atmospheric setting. Critics have praised Liz Hyder's ability to create a world that is both dark and compelling, and her ability to bring historical characters to life in a way that is both fascinating and relatable.
If you are a fan of historical fiction, gothic tales, or stories that explore the darker side of human nature, then The Knowing is a must-read. It is a powerful and evocative book that will leave you feeling both haunted and inspired.
