Peach vacklar hemåt. Smärtan i kroppen är ingenting i jämförelse med minnet. Hemma märker inte föräldrarna någonting, mest upptagna som de är av lillebrodern och av varandra. Medan middagen tillagas som vanligt på nedervåningen syr Peach bokstavligen ihop sig själv uppe på sitt rum. Emma Glass debutroman Peach har mottagits som en litterär sensation i Storbritannien. Med ett språk, en rytm, som jämförts med Gertrude Stein, James Joyce och Dylan Thomas försöker Glass artikulera det osägbara inifrån en ung kvinna som just utsatts för en våldtäkt. Och i en medvetandeström hamrande mot läsaren inväntar huvudpersonen sin chans att hämnas. I svensk översättning av Birgitta Wernbro Augustsson.

»Emma Glass är en gränslöst talangfull ung författare. Hennes oräddhet förnyar min tro på litteraturens kraft.« | George Saunders, författare till Lincoln i bardo, vinnare av 2017 års Man Booker Prize

»Emma Glass når långt i sin strävan att skildra en erfarenhet nästan omöjlig att uttrycka i ord.« | The Observer

‘Gorgeously written ... It’s heartbreaking but beautiful, and perfect for escaping into' FLORENCE WELCH‘Haunting yet beautifully written. I couldn’t put it down. A masterpiece’ POPPY DELEVINGNELaura is a nurse in a paediatric unit. On long shifts she cares for sick babies, carefully handling their exquisitely breakable bodies.Laura needs a rest. When she sleeps, she dreams of drowning; when she wakes, she can’t remember getting home. And there is a strange figure dancing in the corner of her vision, with a message, or a warning.‘Blends gnawing tension and surging tenderness ... Glass’s battlefield prose calls to mind the literature of the trenches. This, though, is a trauma-generating war on death and despair fought for us in every city, every day’ i paper‘Touching, devastating, almost absurdly pertinent ... What, Glass asks, do we expect from our caregivers, and how do we repay them for the burdens we lay on them?’ Times Literary Supplement‘The ward scenes, with their crystalline descriptions of the vertiginous business of care, exquisitely beat out the ceaseless rhythms of life on a hospital front line’ Metro‘Thrusts the reader into the pulse-raising fear, frenzy and relief of work in a paediatric intensive-care unit ... A battlefield atmosphere arises from Glass’s prose as she recounts the time-stopping teamwork that aims to preserve tiny, fragile lives’ Economist

By turns tender and devastating, Mrs Jekyll contorts Stevenson's gothic classic in a sumptuous and shocking account of modern womanhood. Schoolteacher Rosy Winter is dying. Her husband Charlie offers all the relief he can. Rosy's sister-in-law, Sally, offers none. But Rosy feels something growing in her. A hard knot in her chest. Beyond the homeopathic remedies, the dinner party obligations, the snatched whispers on wards and in staffrooms, a force - murderous, feminine, feverish - is stirring within her...
