From the twice-Booker-nominated writer of Burntcoat, an astonishing literary masterpiece that explores faith, connection, and our relationship to the natural world, for readers of The Overstory and North Woods.

Who is Helm? Elemental god, aerial demon, a rare weather species now on the endangered climate list—Helm has survived centuries, accepting fear, worship, and betrayal from the humans who live beneath. In seven interlocking narratives that range from a neolithic woman to a contemporary climate scientist, acclaimed novelist Hall explores humanity’s relationship to our most banal conversation subject and most profoundly destructive natural force. Ambitious, thrillingly textured, and deeply humane, Helm is Hall’s boldest novel yet, weaving a tapestry of the human story that connects us all: one of hubris, discovery, the magic of faith, and the uncertainty of our future.
