Description
'Disturbing and compulsive' - Cosmopolitan
Beginning with a story of an ex-sex worker drifting through a small rural town in the south and ending with the wedding night of a young woman who learns from her new husband what it takes to kill a man, Nash writes across the complications of working-class women, rendering their desires with visceral prose and psychologically dissecting the fundamental root that threads her work: craving and the conflicts within.
Perfect for readers of She's Always Hungry by Eliza Clark, Brainwyrms by Alison Rumfitt and New Animal by Ella Baxter.
