Longisted for the Jerwood Fiction Uncovered prize 2015.
‘Powerful stories.’ — Marina Warner.
Obsession, longing, deceit and even murder feature in this quartet of provocative novellas, which gives a modern twist to tales of women for whom all is not necessarily as it seems.
Drawing on history, culture and lore, this is a riveting exploration of the complexities of motherhood: edgy and engrossing, moving, yet at times, disturbing.
