Longlisted for the Comedy Women in Print Prize

'tender, vicious, hilarious, exhilarating, devastating and HOPEFUL'

Daisy Buchanan

'my favourite kind of debut novel'
Caroline O'Donoghue

'a riotous rollercoaster of hilarity, tenderness and beautiful craziness that kept me hooked from the start'
Sara Lawrence, Daily Mail

Frances was not looking for a relationship when she met Elaine in a bar. She was, in fact, looking to drown her sorrows and nurse a broken heart. But somehow, Elaine ended up in Frances's bed and never left.

Now, faced with mounting pressure from her drug dealer to access some cash, Frances comes up with a terrible idea - she asks Elaine to move in with her. Unfortunately, this makes Elaine even more sex-crazed and maniacal with love. Frances fears she may never escape the relationship, so, given no choice, she makes the obvious decision: she will sedate Elaine.

Dawn Winter lives in Essex, and studied English literature at the University of Roehampton. She has worked a variety of jobs in prisons, hospices, kitchens, and factories. Sedating Elaine is her first novel.
