Items related to Rise
Justine is running for her life. Escaping a city and a man who between them have almost broken her she heads north to the mountains and the valleys of the Highlands. She is looking for somewhere to hide.
Michael and Hannah are also running. With their two sons and their tattered marriage they have come to the village of Kilmacarra. They are looking for somewhere they can once again call home.
In a place of standing stones - an ancient landscape in a country on the brink of change - a shocking accident causes their lives to intertwine. Tangled together in threads of guilt and love, with Scotland rushing towards a referendum and the community around them fracturing, each must question where they truly belong.
And, as the ground beneath their feet begins to give up its secrets, and the darkness Justine fled grows close, each must also find a way to face their ghosts.

Review:
Engrossing, entertaining and thoroughly readable ... It is a page-turner but Karen also demonstrates her acute eye for detail and for profound observation in just a phrase or a sentence. On the strength of Rise I will certainly be going to the backlist (James Robertson)
I am in awe of Karen Campbell's writing. Rise soars and sears in equal measure - it is brilliant, unputdownable storytelling (Mel Giedroyc)
Karen Campbell strikes out in a new direction in Rise (Sunday Herald Top Picks for 2015)
A compassionate and poignant novel about forgiveness and identity (Woman & Home)
A beautifully written novel about freedom and forgiveness . Heated, political and lyrical, this is an excellent, topical novel (Red)
Not every ex-cop could write like this, of course, and not every novelist has Campbell's powers of observation or forensic sense of empathy . A comparatively uncomplicated agent of threat brought ferociously to life in the manner of Irvine Welsh . A novel like Campbell's allows for the faith that fiction will record our moment with a little more latitude for surprise and revelation (Herald)
