Needlework

4.01 (284 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Deirdre Sullivan

A powerful and poetic novel from the multi-award-winning author of Tangleweed and Brine

Ces longs to be a tattoo artist and embroider skin with beautiful images. But for now shes just trying to reach adulthood without falling apart.

Powerful, poetic and disturbing, Needlework is a girls meditation on her efforts to maintain her bodily and spiritual integrity in the face of abuse, violation and neglect.

Reading Needlework is similar to getting your first tattoo its searing, often painful, but it is an experience youll never forget.  Louise ONeill, author of The Surface Breaks and Asking For It

Needlework is a powerful novel that deserves to be read.  Sarah Crossan, author of One and We Come Apart

I loved Deirdre Sullivans Needlework, a novel that is just as sharp and precise as its title suggests.  Doireann Ní Ghríofa, poet

A modern, broken fairy tale that gets under your skin.  Tara Flynn, author and comedian
