When Kit goes to a dance class she is hoping simply to take her mind off her studies. Soon it looks like Joe, a stranger she meets there, might do more than that.
But as Kit uncovers a mystery involving the young Charles Dickens and the slaughter of a prostitute known as The Countess, she is sucked back in to the world of books, and discovers how Dickens became tangled up with this horrendous crime.
'Blood swashes between ancient pages and modern pavements, while twenty-first-century love is laid tenderly but unflinchingly bare in this ultimately strange and lingering novel.'
Independent on Sunday
'Sharp, acute, comic and true to life.'
Scotsman
'A dark delight of a novel.'
Metro
'Gowers's writing is absolutely beautiful.'

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Kit, a work-obsessed literature student, decides on a whim to go to a dance class. And for a while it looks like Joe, the shadowy figure she meets there, may tempt her to put her books aside and live a little. But as Joe's world becomes increasingly threatening and Kit's research leads her to an extraordinary historical mystery, she is faced with a choice. Will she hide herself away in her studies or will she make the leap of faith that could change her existence forever? The Twisted Heart is both a hugely enjoyable novel about the challenges of love and a startling exploration of previously unrecognised links between the young Charles Dickens and the deranged murder of a prostitute known as The Countess. Brilliantly weaving these threads together, it confirms Gowers as one of the most exciting voices in Britain today. A literary murder mystery and a tale of modern love from an Orange-longlisted author Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
