Picture

An absorbing, clever and heartening debut novel.

 
Alison Moore, author of Man Booker-shortlisted The Lighthouse and He Wants

Picture
A very moving portrayal of how paralysing the shame of one’s identity can lead to lifelong isolation and secrecy. A gripping, compelling and moving read.

Dr. Victoria Holt, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, Tavistock Clinic


Vivid and visceral, Anne Goodwin's debut novel provides an astute and fascinating portrait of a protagonist struggling with unusual demons.

Victoria Best,
reviewer and blogger, Shiny New Books

Sugar and Snails is a brave and bold emotional roller-coaster of a read. Anne Goodwin’s prose is at once sensitive, invigorating and inspired. I was hooked from the start and in bits by the end. Very much to be recommended.

I loved this book. Sugar and Snails is beautifully written and a truly impressive debut by Anne Goodwin. 
It reminded me a little of Claire Messud’s The Woman Upstairs. The character of Di, at first frustrating, grows more endearing as you begin to understand her. Her friend Venus and lover Simon are well-drawn; there as foils to Di’s tory. 
A beautiful and gripping read.


Fleur Smithwick, author of How to Make a Friend

A probing debut novel and, like its protagonist, not what it first seems.


Gavin Weston, author of Harmattan
