<p><b>'A dazzling, heartbreaking debut collection' <i>Guardian</i></b><br><br><b>'Kennedy's voice, and her unforgiving gaze, are electric' <i>Sunday Times</i></b><br><br><b>'These stories sing, haunt and inspire laughter ... One of the best collections I've read in years' Sinead Gleeson</b><br><br><b>A <i>SUNDAY TIMES </i>BOOK OF THE YEAR</b><br><b>WINNER OF THE JOHN MCGAHERN PRIZE</b><b><br>SHORTLISTED FOR THE KATE O'BRIEN AWARD 2022</b><br><br><i>The secrets people kept, the lies they told.</i><br><br>In these visceral, stunningly crafted stories, people are effortlessly cruel to one another, and the natural world is a primitive salve. Here, women are domestically trapped by predatorial men, Ireland's folklore and politics loom large, and poverty - material, emotional, sexual - seeps through every crack.<br><br>A wife is abandoned by her new husband in a ghost estate, with blood on her hands; a young woman is tormented by visions of the man murdered by her brother during the Troubles; a pregnant mother fears the worst as her husband grows illegal cannabis with the help of a vulnerable teenage girl; a woman struggles to forgive herself after an abortion threatens to destroy her marriage.<br><br>Announcing a major new voice in literary fiction for the twenty-first century, these sharp shocks of stories offer flashes of beauty, and even humour, amidst the harshest of truths.</p>
