Gwenni Morgan is not like any other girl in this small Welsh town. Inquisitive, bookish and full of spirit, she can fly in her sleep and loves playing detective.

Mari Strachan's unforgettable novel was one of the most acclaimed and successful debuts of 2009. It is a heart-breaking and hugely enjoyable story.

Review:
"The Earth Hums in B Flat is a richly evocative, warm but unsentimental tale of a child detective struggling to piece together clues about the lives around her ... extremely compelling. I loved this novel." (Catherine O'Flynn, author of What Was Lost)
"
"A fondness for unorthodoxy gives [Strachan's] girl-growing-up story its unique flavour . . . A warm and touching, but blessedly unsentimental, novel." (Kate Saunders The Times 2009-02-21)
"Strachan's prose is pitch perfect. A gorgeous debut." (Eithne Farry Marie Claire 2009-04-01)
"At a time when many panic-stricken publishers want their debut novelists to resemble junior celebs fresh out of stage school, Mari Strachan - and Canongate - are proving that the words still matter most. ... Strachan has a voice and a vision all her own." (Boyd Tonkin Independent 2009-03-06)
Book Description:
"
I loved this debut, which manages to give a young girl's narrative an authentically quirky aspect, without ever resorting to cutesiness or cosiness . . . Strachan eschews whimsy for reality in a beautifully written story about growing
up.

A compelling, brilliantly-received debut from a moving, nostalgic and truly authentic new voice
