As a teenager, Tess falls into environmental activism - and the arms of a charismatic older protester. When he suddenly disappears, leaving her pregnant and alone, her happiness is shattered. Slowly, though, she rebuilds a life for herself and her daughter Mia.
It is not until Mia is nearly thirteen that she starts to question what her mother has always told her about her father and his past. Meanwhile Tess must confront suspicions of her own about the man she loved and lost. As mother and daughter pull apart, the certainties of memory and history begin to unravel and a single shocking question emerges: who was he?

Press Reviews
Sadie Jones
A magnificent, nuanced and intricate novel. Trespass is as political as it is personal, both moving and psychologically fascinating
Helena Kennedy QC
A novel about love -- and state-sanctioned impunity ... Paranoid fantasy or reality? Brilliant, chilling
Cathy Rentzenbrink
I read Trespass in one go. So perceptive and clever. All the excitement of a thriller with the depth of a literary novel
- Good Housekeeping
Some characters pull you in from the off and that's exactly how I felt about Tess, a young climate activist who becomes pregnant by an older man who isn't who he says he is
