PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Roxy Dunn is a Writer/Performer and graduate of the BBC Comedy Writersroom. She's acted in multiple television sitcoms and her shows have received sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and SOHO Theatre. Her scripts have been optioned by several production companies and her pilot Useless Millennials was commissioned and broadcast on BBC Radio 4. As Young as This is her first novel.
This debut novel about womanhood and expectations will be one of the most exciting of the year * The Independent, best fiction books to read in 2024 * A young woman's life, told through the men she has dated. With glorious attention to detail and emotional fluency, Dunn charts the ways in which we are built and broken by love * Pandora Sykes * As Young As This is raw, funny and beautiful - Roxy has such a lyrical and perceptive voice, this is a really gorgeously observed novel about youth and womanhood and I can’t wait to see it fly * Daisy Buchanan * Relatable, poignant and gripping, told with great originality. Roxy Dunn is a fresh and exciting new voice in fiction ... I read it in a single day * Libby Page, author of The Lido * What a treat to spend time with a character like Margot – warm, witty, wise (at least most of the time). A thoughtful and moving portrait of a young woman as she feels her way through life and love that made me laugh and cry * Chloë Ashby, author of Wet Paint * In Margot, Roxy Dunn has created a character who encapsulates so many of the anxieties of her generation. Deceptively open-handed plotting cleverly disguises a work of philosophical force. Dunn's heroine has us judging and loving her simultaneously while leaving room for us to turn the mirror on our own reasons for choosing our partners. I smiled a lot reading As Young As This, and whatever age or gender you are I challenge you not to do the same. * Paterson Joseph *
