'Two Daughters is that rare book that is gripping enough to get your heart pumping by the end of the prologue, yet smart enough to keep your brain ticking long after the final page. Sharply observed and skilfully drawn, this clever debut novel is an exploration of motherhood, abandonment and class - my favourite things to explore. In short, exactly my kind of book!' - Sally Hepworth, author of Darling Girls 'With a pacy, intricate plot that weaves across decades and continents, Two Daughters is a gripping and witty debut.' - Diana Reid, author of Love & Virtue 'Fresh, vivid and original...an incisive exploration of social justice, class, identity, and what it means to challenge the expectations set for women's lives.' - Clare Stephens, writer and host of the Mamamia podcasts Cancelled and But Are You Happy?
