Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Phillip Lewis was born and raised in a small town called West Jefferson in the mountains of North Carolina. He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and later received a law degree from Campbell University. While his law practice is based in downtown Charlotte, much of his work has been in the western part of North Carolina, in the mountains.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

'A brilliant debut.' Jenni Fagan, author of The Panopticon

'A novel this good is a rare thing.' David Gilbert, author of & Sons

'[A] vivid update on Southern Gothic.' Matthew Thomas, author of We Are Not Ourselves

Just before Henry Aster's birth, his father, a frustrated novelist and lawyer, reluctantly returns to the remote North Carolina mountains where he was raised and installs his young family in a gothic mansion worthy of his hero Edgar Allan Poe. There, Henry grows up in the shadow of this fierce and brilliant man. But when a death in the family tips his father toward a fearsome unravelling, what was once a young son's reverence is poisoned, and Henry flees, not to return until years later when his family and the Barrowfields call him home.



Mesmeric in its prose and mythic in its sweep, The Barrowfields is an extraordinary debut about the darker side of devotion, the limits of forgiveness, and the reparative power of shared pasts.
