What to expect

'One of the most exciting new voices of the decade' Erin Kelly

'Ambitious and arresting' Beth Underdown

'Utterly engrossing' Louise Nealon

'Brilliantly written... compelling' Kate Sawyer

'A visceral slice of female friendship' Stylist

Everyone's got that history, I guess. Everyone's got a story.

When Emily meets enigmatic and dazzling actress Tamsin, her life changes. Drawn into Tamsin's world of Soho living, boozy dinners, and cocktails at impossibly expensive bars, Emily's life shifts from black and white to technicolour and the two women become inseparable.

Tamsin is the friend Emily has always longed for; beautiful, fun, intelligent and mysterious and soon Emily is neglecting her previous life - her work assisting vulnerable women, her old friend Lucy - to bask in her glow. But when a bombshell news article about a decades-old sexual assault case breaks, Emily realises that Tamsin has been hiding a secret about her own past. A secret that threatens to unravel everything . . .

Young Women is a razor sharp novel that slices to the heart of our most important relationships, and asks how complicit we all are in this world built for men.
