Myma, do you hear it? Myma, do you hear? Myma?
Maya and Daughter live in complete isolation in a secluded woodland, their days aligned with the light and changing seasons, a complex pattern of routine and ritual.
One day, when Daughter is almost sixteen, a red-haired stranger steps into the confines of their territory. Where there was always two, suddenly there are three - and the carefully constructed world that Maya has built to keep her daughter safe may not survive it.
Rowe Irvin is a writer and artist. In 2025 she was named one of the Observer's Best New Novelists. She has a PhD in Creative Writing and her work has appeared in Prototype, Southword and the Stinging Fly. Life Cycle of a Moth is her first book.
