Shortlisted for the Branford Boase Award 2006.
Century is a haunting story with a wonderfully gothic feel. Mercy and her sister Charity live in huge house full of dusty corners. Outside it is always winter and the two girls never see the sunshine as they go to bed just as the sun rises – and have done for hundreds of years. By why?
Can Mercy discover the truth about their lives without destroying her home and family?
Mercy and her sister Charity have never questioned their daily routine. They live at night, sleep during the day, and see their widowed father only rarely. Then one day, Mercy is woken to find a snowdrop on her pillow.
