Bargains! PROMOTIONS
Ruth Newton is a writer and campaign producer, working with charities and NGOs. The Carrier, her debut novel, was longlisted for BPA's first novel award, shortlisted for Hodderscape x The Science Museum's Debut Science Fiction award and won the Jericho Writers' Friday Night Live competition. She lives in the North East with her husband and son.
I absolutely loved this novel, and the provocative concept and fast-paced plot drove me to finish it in one weekend. The themes cut right to the core of women’s role in our society and Ruth has expertly highlighted the pervasive stereotypes that plague our perceptions of women. Ruth has done a fantastic job sparking a debate about the unseen labour performed by women, and I felt the entire novel was a call to arms for women, driving us to centre ourselves in our own lives and dream bigger. * Marie O'Hare *
