An astonishing debut by a visionary new voice; 'A strange and original work of art' - George Saunders, winner of the 2017 Man Booker Prize
Peach is a teenage girl like any other. She has college, and her friends, and her parents and the new baby, and her gorgeous boyfriend Green. She has her friend Sandy, and Sid the cat, and homework to do.
But something has happened – something unspeakable – and her world has become unfamiliar, fractured into strange textures and patterns. Reeling through her refracted universe, Peach knows that the people she loves are in danger, real danger. If she is not to be swallowed whole, Peach must summon all her courage and dig deep into something nameless and strange that lies within her.
“An immensely talented young writer ... Her fearlessness renews one's faith in the power of literature” – George Saunders, author of Lincoln in the Bardo, winner of 2017 Man Booker Prize,
“Emma Glass's fictional debut – a novella-cum-prose poem – packs one hell of a punch … Glass's commitment to the visceral is like nothing else I've read … Peach inhabits a strange, horror-story realm of the hyperreal, and Glass's vision goes a long way towards portraying an experience that's near-impossible to articulate” – Observer
“Addressing an all-too-relevant issue, the novel charts the physical and psychological effects on Peach through stylised, poetic prose, self-confessedly informed by James Joyce's experiments with language. Referenced variously as “the new Jane Eyre”, “intimately weird” and “exhilaratingly bold”” – Independent, Books to look out for in 2018
