THEY THOUGHT THEY KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT US. THE KIND OF WOMEN WE WERE.
Iris seeks a different kind of life. Promise comes in the form of Hazel, who lives at Breach House - a women's commune on a remote farm. At Breach House, the women live and eat in abundance, are guided by landscape and ritual, all while under the leadership of their gargantuan matriarch, Blythe.
But is Breach House truly the haven it seems? When an unforgivable transgression comes to light and power struggles intensify, the women find themselves hurtling towards an act of devastating violence that will threaten everything they've fought to create.
⭐ What readers are saying: ⭐
'I could not recommend this more if I tried... A powerful, remarkable debut novel filled with sublime prose, a warm quiet queerness, and a feral female rage' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'Simply breathtaking, this book was unstoppable' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'When I tell you I absolutely devoured this book, I mean it. She's sapphic, she's feral, and she's very difficult to put down' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'The poetry of Twigg's words...I wanted to swallow them whole and have them sit in me forever. They were just so good' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
