Stranger Town
by Niamh Calderwood
First self-published in 2017.

Jessica Henry has left everything behind; her family, her country, her carefully constructed idea of herself as an artist, and moved to a small town in the North East of England to find out who she really is. What she finds instead is a cast of strangers: a painter with a broken heart, a boss who becomes her only friend, a woman on a motorbike who seems to know her better than she knows herself, and a series of losses she can’t outrun no matter how far she travels.

Stranger Town is a novel about chain reactions, the way a single act of love or cruelty ripples outward through lives we never see, and the strange, irreversible cost of connection. It is also, quietly, a ghost story.
