'It feels essential. You will read nothing else like it this year' GUARDIAN 'Blistering, brilliant, savage and smart' EIMEAR McBRIDE

From the winner of the BBC National Short Story Award

Ask anyone non-Northern, theyll only know Donny as punch line of a joke or place they changed trains once ont way to London.

But Doncasters also the home of Rach, Shaz and Kel, bezzies since childhood and Donny lasses through and through. They share everything, from blagging their way into nightclubs to trips to the Family Planning clinic when they are late. Never mind that Rach is skeptical of Shazs bolder plots; or that Shaz, who comes from a rougher end of town, feels left behind when the others begin charting a course to uni; or that Kel sometimes feels split in two trying to keep the peace ? their friendship is as indestructible as they are. But as they grow up and away from one another, a long-festering secret threatens to rip the trio apart.

We Pretty Pieces of Flesh takes you by the hand and leads you through Doncasters schoolyards, alleyways and nightclubs, laying bare the intimate treacheries of adolescence and the ways we betray ourselves when we dont trust our friends. Like The Glorious Heresies and Shuggie Bain, it tracks hard-edged lives and makes them sing, turning one overlooked place into the very centre of the world.

An astonishing polyphonic debut Irish Times, Books of the Year Sublime Roisin ODonnell 'Brilliant and original on every level... she is a writer like nobody else' Elizabeth McCracken Electrifying Written in what feels like a new and utterly distinctive female voice, it is very hard to put down Mark Haddon
