Description

Ruby has spent her twenties scraping by in unfulfilling jobs. But now she’s tasting her first success as a film director – and she’s caught the eye of Ellen, an iconoclastic feminist filmmaker, critical darling and Ruby’s idol.When Ellen invites Ruby down to her sprawling country house and offers to mentor her through writing her next film, Ruby can’t believe her luck. Arriving in the middle of an oppressive heat wave, she is overawed by the glamour of the house – and finds herself quickly drawn into the middle of a dangerous dynamic between Ellen and her elusive daughter Lara. Because Ellen and Lara, it seems, like to play games with promising young women. As tensions escalate, Ruby begins to ask herself: why was she brought here, and what exactly do these two women want from her? Give Me Everything You’ve Got is the incendiary new novel from Imogen Crimp: a fearless, sultry and deliciously dark exploration of art, power and sex that grips to the final page.
