Baileys' Women's Prize
ISBN:
9781476789026
Description:
228 p. ; 22 cm.
Summary:
The story of a young woman's relationship with her brother, the long shadow cast by his childhood brain tumour, and her harrowing sexual awakening. Not so much a stream-of-consciousness, as an unconscious railing against a life that makes little sense, and a shocking and intimate insight into the thoughts, feelings and chaotic sexuality of a vulnerable and isolated protagonist, this novel plunges inside its narrator's head. This isn't always comfortable - but it is always a revelation.
Awards:
Winner of the Baileys' Women's Prize for Fiction, 2014.
Genre:
Psychological fiction.
Experimental fiction.
Literary fiction.
First novel.
