***Shortlisted for The Goldsmiths Prize 2025*** ***Longlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize and the Dylan Thomas Prize*** 'It feels essential. You will read nothing else like it this year' GUARDIAN 'Blistering brilliant savage and smart' EIMEAR McBRIDE From the winner of the BBC National Short Story Award Ask anyone non-Northern they'll only know Donny as punch line of a joke or place they changed trains once ont way to London. But Doncaster's also the home of Rach Shaz and Kel bezzies since childhood and Donny lasses through and through. They share everything from blagging their way into nightclubs to trips to the Family Planning clinic when they are late. Never mind that Rach is skeptical of Shaz's bolder plots or that Shaz who comes from a rougher end of town feels left behind when the others begin charting a course to uni or that Kel sometimes feels split in two trying to keep the peace - their friendship is as indestructible as they are. But as they grow up and away from one another a long-festering secret threatens to rip the trio apart. We Pretty Pieces of Flesh takes you by the hand and leads you through Doncaster's schoolyards alleyways and nightclubs laying bare the intimate treacheries of adolescence and the ways we betray ourselves when we don't trust our friends. Like The Glorious Heresies and Shuggie Bain it tracks hard-edged lives and makes them sing turning one overlooked place into the very centre of the world. 'A novel brimming with rough poetry heart and mischief' FERDIA LENNON 'Unforgettable...a wondrous luminous novel' NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH 'Brilliant and original on every level... she is a writer like nobody else' ELIZABETH McCRACKEN 'Electrifying... Written in what feels like a new and utterly distinctive female voice it is very hard to put down' MARK HADDON
