A post-uni Bildungsroman, Lucya Starza's Erosion explores the moral and existential choices that life presents. It draws the reader on with its easy style, engaging storyline and strong undercurrent of magical practices. Alison arrives in a run-down coastal town in 1980s Kent, hoping to write a novel. Instead, she falls in with a close-knit group of friends, amongst whom is a witch who lives on the edge of a cliff...an ancient skull is found, there are rituals, seances and deaths, friendships broken and re-made. Alison is propelled on a journey of personal transformation, as she is confronted with the great themes of truthfulness, fate and free will, to which the author gives no easy answers. On one level, this a simple tale, simply (and very readably) told, yet psychological and moral depths emerge as the story unfolds.--Barry Goddard, Author of The Medicine Wheel, and Surfing the Galactic Highways: Adventures in Divinatory Astrology
