This is the pre-order page for the signed edition of The Book of Guilt by Catherine Chidgey. Your order will be fulfilled upon publication: 22nd May 2025.

England, 1979. Vincent, Lawrence and William are the last remaining residents of a
secluded New Forest home, part of the government's Sycamore Scheme. Every day, the
triplets do their chores, play their games and take their medicine, under the watchful eyes
of three mothers: Mother Morning, Mother Afternoon and Mother Night.

Their nightmares are recorded in The Book of Dreams.
Their lessons are taken from The Book of Knowledge.
And their sins are reported in The Book of Guilt.

All the boys want is to be sent to the Big House in Margate, where they imagine a life of
sun, sea and fairground rides. But, as the government looks to shut down the Sycamore
Homes, the triplets begin to question everything they have been told.

Gradually surrendering its dark secrets, The Book of Guilt is a profoundly unnerving
exploration of belonging in a world where some lives are valued less than others.
