Nominerad till prestigefyllda priserna Ondaatje Prize, Polari Prize och 2019 års Women's Prize for Fiction!
Under en varm sommarvecka i norra England samlas en grupp akademiker för att rollspela järnåldern. Det är egentligen på låtsas, med särkar, jaktfällor och bärplockning.
Tonårsdottern Sylvie och hennes kuvade mor tvingas medverka i rollspelet av den chauvinistiska pappan. Även om han egentligen arbetar som busschaufför kallar han sig historiker om än amatörhistoriker. Pappan går allt längre för att återskapa forntidens regler och hierarkier; för Sylvie och hennes mamma blir leken snabbt allvar. I kontrast till de unga studenterna, framförallt den frigjorda Molly, blir missförhållandena i Sylvies familj alltmer uppenbara.
I lägret växer spänningen i takt med pappans missnöje och Sylvie vet att det är hon och mamman som kommer få betala priset. Samtidigt dras männen i lägret allt djupare ner i stämningen kring träskmarkerna, där man under järnåldern torterade och offrade unga kvinnor i sadistiska ritualer.
Sarah Moss är en stigande stjärna på den brittiska författarhimlen. Med Offermur skärskådar hon patriarkalt hedersvåld och myter om identitet och tillhörighet, fast förankrad i en brittisk samtid.
"Med kuslig precision skildrar den här täta romanen, känsligt översatt av Rose-Marie Nielsen, hur snabbt polityren kan falla av och blotta rovdjuret inom oss." Yukiko Duke, Vi Läser

"Offermur är en polerad pärla till bok, kärnfull och briljant, och med den klättrar Moss stjärna på författarhimlen" The Guardian

Traditional philosophical discussions of knowledge have focused on the epistemic status of full beliefs. Sarah Moss argues that in addition to full beliefs, credences can constitute knowledge. For instance, your 0.4 credence that it is raining outside can constitute knowledge, in just the same way that your full beliefs can. In addition, you can know that it might be raining, and that if it is raining then it is probably cloudy, where this knowledge is not knowledgeof propositions, but of probabilistic contents.The notion of probabilistic content introduced in this book plays a central role not only in epistemology, but in the philosophy of mind and language as well. Just as tradition holds that you believe and assert propositions, you can believe and assert probabilistic contents. Accepting that we can believe, assert, and know probabilistic contents has significant consequences for many philosophical debates, including debates about the relationship between full belief and credence, the semantics ofepistemic modals and conditionals, the contents of perceptual experience, peer disagreement, pragmatic encroachment, perceptual dogmatism, and transformative experience. In addition, accepting probabilistic knowledge can help us discredit negative evaluations of female speech, explain why merelystatistical evidence is insufficient for legal proof, and identify epistemic norms violated by acts of racial profiling. Hence the central theses of this book not only help us better understand the nature of our own mental states, but also help us better understand the nature of our responsibilities to each other.

A Best Book of the Year: Literary Hub, Prospect Magazine (UK)"The contemporary writer I recommend the most . . . It's difficult to pinpoint her genius, but . . . I'm talking about the distant echoes of regret that wake us in the night whispering that eternal question: Is that all there is? And what makes Moss so brilliant is that though her answer to that is an emphatic YES, she nonetheless writes us worlds so radiant that it doesn't even matter. " -Jonny Diamond, Literary HubA story of sisterhood, forbidden desire, lost connection, and what it means to find a home among strangers.Edith, just out of school, has been sent from her quiet English life to rural Italy. It is the 1960s, and her mother has issued strict instructions: tend to her ballerina sister, Lydia, in the final weeks of her scandalous pregnancy; help at the birth; make a phone call that will summon the nuns who will spirit the child away to a new home. Decades later, happily divorced, recently moved, and full of new energy, Edith has fashioned a life of contentment and comfort in Ireland. Then her best friend, Meabh, receives a shocking phone call from an American man. He claims to be a brother she never knew existed: a child her mother gave up and never spoke of again. As Edith helps her friend reckon with this new idea of connection and how it might change her life, her thoughts turn back to Lydia and the fractured history of her own family. What did they give up when they sent the baby away? What kind of family has he been given? What kind of life? And how was hers changed by his arrival and departure?In Ripeness, Sarah Moss has again tapped into the questions that haunt us individually and as communities. This extraordinary novel explores familial love and the bonds we forge across time, migration and new beginnings, and what it means to find somewhere to belong.

The study of food in literature complicates established critical positions. Both a libidinal pleasure and the ultimate commodity, food in fiction can represent sex as well as money and brings the body and the marketplace together in ways that are sometimes obvious and sometimes unsettling. Spilling the Beans explores these relations in the context of late eighteenth and early nineteenth century women’s fiction, where concerns about bodily, economic and intellectual productivity and consumption power decades of novels, conduct books and popular medicine.The introduction suggests ways in which attention to food in these texts might complicate recent developments in literary theory and criticism, while the body of the book is devoted to close readings of novels and children’s stories by Frances Burney, Mary Wollstonecraft, Maria Edgeworth and Susan Ferrier. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of eighteenth and nineteenth century literature, women’s studies and material culture.

Winner of Scotland's Non-Fiction Book of the YearMy Good Bright Wolf is a memoir about thinking and reading, eating and not eating, about privilege and scarcity, about the relationships that form us and the long tentacles of childhood.Sarah Moss, author of The Fell and Summerwater, confronts all of this in a book that pushes at the boundaries of memoir-writing. It narrates contested memories of girlhood at the hands of embattled, distracted parents in a time of disastrous attitudes towards eating and female discipline. By the time she was a teenager, Sarah had developed a dangerous and controlling relationship with food, and that illness returned in her adult life.Now the mother and teacher of young adults, in My Good Bright Wolf she explores a childhood caught in the trap of her parents’ post-war puritanism and second-wave feminism, interrogating what she thought and still thinks, what she read and still reads, and what she did – and still does – with her hard-working body and her furiously turning mind.Beautiful, audacious, moving and so very funny, Sarah Moss’s memoir is a remarkable exercise in the way a brain turns on itself, and then offers a way out: it is a blindingly brilliant experiment in and celebration of what a creative mind can do.

A Best Book of 2024: Kirkus, The Independent, and the New York Public LibraryA New York Magazine Most-Anticipated Book of the FallA Library Journal Top Title of the SeasonFrom the acclaimed author of Ghost Wall, Summerwater, and The Fell, Sarah Mosss My Good Bright Wolf is an unflinching memoir about childhood, food, books, and our ability to see, become, and protect ourselves.A girl must watch her figure but never be vain. She must be intelligent but never a know-it-all. She must be ambitious, if she is clever, but not in a way that shows. She must cook and sew and make do and mend. She must know (but never say) that these skills are, in some fundamental way, flawed and frivolousfeminine. Girls must stay small, even as they grow. Women must show restraint. And yet. In books, in the landscape of imagination, a girl can run free.Here, with My Good Bright Wolf, Sarah Moss takes on these rules, these lessons from the fables of girlhood, and uses them to fearlessly investigate the nature of memory, the lure of self-control, the impact of privilege, scarcity, parents, love. Through narratives of women and food, second-wave feminism and postwar puritanism, and her own challenges with a health care system that discounts the experiences of those it ought to serve, Moss seeks truth in the stories we tell ourselves and others. Harm can become power. Attention can become care. A body and a mind, though working hard together, can be at odds.And yet. In books, in the landscape of imagination, a girl can run free. Beautiful and sharp, moving and unapologetic, erudite and very funny, My Good Bright Wolf is a memoir that breaks the rules.

A slim, tense page-turner . . . I gulped The Fell down in one sitting. Emma Donoghue, author of The Pull of the StarsFrom the award-winning author of Ghost Wall and Summerwater, Sarah Mosss The Fell is a riveting novel of mutual responsibility, personal freedom, and the ever-nearness of disaster.At dusk on a November evening, a woman slips through her garden gate and turns up the hill. Kate is in the middle of a two-week mandatory quarantine period, a true lockdown, but she cant take it anymorethe closeness of the air in her small house, the confinement. And anyway, the moor will be deserted at this time. Nobody need ever know shes stepped out. Kate planned only a quick walka stretch of the legs, a breath of fresh airon paths she knows too well. But somehow she falls. Injured, unable to move, she sees that her short, furtive stroll will become a mountain rescue operation, maybe even a missing person case. Sarah Mosss The Fell is a story of mutual responsibility, personal freedom, and compassion. Suspenseful, witty, and wise, it asks probing questions about how close so many live to the edge and about who we are in the world, who we are to our neighbors, and who we become when the world demands we shut ourselves away.

The endless rain leaves them with little to do but watch the other residents.A woman goes running up the Ben as if fleeing; a retired couple reminisce about neighbours long since moved on; a teenage boy braves the dark waters of the loch in his red kayak. Each person is wrapped in their own cares but increasingly alert to the makeshift community around them. One particular family, a mother and daughter without the right clothes or the right manners, starts to draw the attention of the others. Tensions rise and all watch on, unaware of the tragedy that lies ahead as night finally falls.Longlisted for the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction 2021.‘Nothing escapes her sly humour and brilliant touch. Deft and brimming with life, Summerwater is a novel of endless depth. A masterpiece.’ Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist'Summerwater may be her best so far.'

From warrior queens to King Arthur, this epic collection explores the tribes, rulers and civilisations of Britain's Iron AgeIn the first millennium BC, the Iron Age arrived in Britain, bringing with it huge technological and social changes. New civilisations arose, the landscape was transformed, and societies developed new cultures and lifestyles.In this comprehensive collection, we take an in-depth look at Iron Age Britain and its inhabitants. The Essay: Unearthing Britannia's Tribes takes us on a 15-part 'woad trip' from the western reaches of Cornwall to the wilds of Scotland and Wales, as archaeologists, historians and writers reveal the peoples of ancient Albion and those who encountered them. We meet Queen Cartimandua, King Arthur, Boudicca, Pytheas and Lindow Man; hear the stories of the Cantiaci, the Demetae, the Durotriges and the Druids; and probe their myths, ideas and characters. Reaching journey's end, we learn how tribal Britain succumbed and was integrated into the Roman world. With the arrival of Caesar's armies, nothing would be the same again...Bookending this fascinating series are three episodes from In Our Time, unpacking the context behind this pivotal period of history. In the first programme, Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the transition from Bronze to Iron and the dawning of the European Iron Age; while the second and third examine the legacy of both the prehistoric Celts and their ultimate conquerors, the Romans, analysing their lasting impact on Britain today.Production creditsIn Our Time presented by Melvyn BraggProduced by Thomas MorrisThe Essay: Unearthing Britannia's Tribes presented by David Miles, Caradoc Peters, Melanie Giles, Nicki Howarth-Pollard, Menna Elfyn, Ilka Tampke, David Greig, Ron Hutton, Mandy Haggith, Miles Russell, Sarah Moss and Guy de la BedoyereProduced by Ellie Bury and Mark BurmanFirst broadcast on BBC Radio 4 (In Our Time) and BBC Radio 3 (The Essay) on the following dates:Part I: ContextIn Our Time: The Iron Age 24 March 2011With Barry Cunliffe, Sue Hamilton and Timothy ChampionPart II: Unearthing Britannia's TribesThe Cantiaci 17 January 2022Cornwall 18 January 2022The Parisi 19 January 2022Queen Cartimandua & the Brigantes 20 January 2022The Demetae 21 January 2022Boudicca-Warrior Queen 24 January 2022The Maeatae 25 January 2022In Search of The Druids 26 January 2022Pytheas and the Iron Sea 27 January 2022Arthur Begins 28 January 2022Lindow Man 14 February 2022The Roman Orbit 15 February 2022The Atrebates 16 February 2022The Durotriges 17 February 2022Maidens, Matriarchs and Crones 18 February 2022Part III: Iron Age CultureIn Our Time: The Celts 21 February 2002With Barry Cunliffe, Alistair Moffat and Miranda Aldhouse GreenPart IV: Roman Invasion and OccupationIn Our Time: Roman Britain 1 May 2003With Greg Woolf, Mary Beard and Catharine Edwards(c) 2023 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.
