No & Other Love Stories

The perfect anti-Valentine: a deliciously dark collection of love stories, from a prizewinning writer who has been compared to Margaret Atwood and Angela Carter.

Can 'no' be a declaration of love? What happens when love is savage, dangerous and all-consuming? In this gorgeous and unsettling collection, women navigate the complexities and cruelties of desire across time and place, from a medieval convent to a Victorian parlour to a 1990s high school.

Intensely atmospheric, surprising and darkly funny, No & Other Stories is a richly flavoured feast from a brilliant writer in full command of the form.
