Darke début to lead for Canongate

Darke, the first book from “one of the world’s leading bookmen”, Rick Gekoski, will be Canongate’s lead title in March 2017.

Publisher Jenny Todd acquired world rights to the “coming-of-(old)-age novel” from Peter Straus at Rogers, Coleridge & White.

Todd said: “Darke is a stunning and distinctive novel full of living, learning and reading.”
