Literary Fiction
An Act of Worship
by Kate Thompson
Description
Sarah is taking a break from her eco-warrior activities, looking after her sister's wholefood shop in a small west of Ireland town. When a dying calf is found on the local dump, she begins to make some enquiries. Before long, the dark shadow cast by modern beef production begins to emerge in another, more sinister form, and Sarah finds that her path keeps crossing that of the town butcher, Malachy Glynn.
An Act of Worship explores the ethics of beef production and the treatment of cattle in mainstream processing, and in the far less conventional approach of Malachy Glynn.

Liminal Books
Liminal Books is a new imprint set up by Whitbread award winning author Kate Thompson to publish her books, both new and backlist. The imprint is expanding to carry books with a similar sensibility written by other authors. ‘Liminal’ refers to thresholds, both interior and exterior, and the word has been chosen to define the themes in the publishing list. In some cases the liminal element is mystical or magical: in others it represents borders, whether they be geographical, social or political.
