'Beautifully observed, deeply humane' Marina Kemp'Masterful ... Will stay with me for a very long time' Sara Nisha AdamsCan we live fully when we are too afraid to be seen? Rhianne is about to find outRhianne expresses her inner world through line and colour. This summer, though, back home in the west country, she is seeking distraction in heat and noise. Art school in London has ripped away her confidence and sense of safety: better for now to be swept along by the hotel kitchen where she’s working, where the pressure is high and the dangers are more obvious. Sharp knives. Hot plates. Little time to think.Her dad, Dominic, is concerned for Rhianne but relieved to have her close. Her step-mum, Melissa, is on alert, though trying to tread carefully. But then there’s Callum, just across the chef’s pass, with his controlled manner and intent gaze. There’s attraction. There’s everything that comes next.'The deliberate diminishing of a partner, the dimming of their inner light, is something so many of us have either experienced or witnessed in a friend – and Price reveals it, here, with tender care and quietly devastating accuracy' ObserverPraise for What Red Was:'One of the most powerful debuts you'll ever read' Stylist'Scorching and original' Sunday Times'An urgent story told beautifully' - Dolly Alderton

A deeply personal, devastating and exhilarating memoir about the re-emergence of memory after sexual violence, an exploration of the self and the body and rebuilding a life after traumaAt twenty-three, Rosie Price was making a life and a career in London, when a long-buried memory returned to her. The memory was one of rape: a night, four years ago, which leaves her entirely derailed.Feeling alienated from her body, Rosie no longer feels solid but made of pixels, like a character in a computer game - the boundaries between the world and the self suddenly amorphous, vulnerable to breach. As the great gaping holes of missing memories disruptively return, they also call into question the life she has lived in the intervening years.What followed was a crisis. In time, it becomes Rosie’s project to repair this great rupture: to reassemble herself, sometimes with tenderness, other times with brutality, using story as a mode of recovery. She reads, she writes, she begins to practice yoga and boxing - and to interrogate the idea that the body and the self can be securely contained. A question takes shape: Where do I end, and where does the world begin?Where the World Begins seeks answers to that question. Not only in Rosie’s own history, but also in the work of writers and thinkers who have wrestled with it for decades, charting a worldview transformed and the porous boundaries between us all.

Max und Kate sind Freunde. NUR Freunde. Die Nähe, die sie teilen, ist unwahrscheinlich – Max ist aus gutem Hause und beliebt, Kate viel lieber für sich – aber intensiv. Max nimmt Kate häufig mit zu seiner Familie, auf ihre Anwesen und Feste. Besonders Zara, Max'' Mutter, hat es Kate angetan. Zara ist Regisseurin, und das möchte Kate auch werden. Dann passiert etwas furchtbares Auf einer Sommerparty der Familie wird Kate von Lewis, Max'' Cousin, vergewaltigt. Monate vergehen, bis sie sich mitteilen kann. Eine der ersten, die sie ins Vertrauen zieht, ist Zara. Den Namen des Vergewaltigers nennt sie nicht. Doch dann tut Zara etwas Ungeheuerliches...Einfühlsam, subtil und mit sehr englischem Humor erzählt Rosie Price von einer jungen Frau, die sich in einem Märchen wähnt und in einem Alptraum aufwacht.

Efter en fest är allt förändrat Kate och Max träffas vid universitetet, blir vänner direkt och under de fyra åren av studier är de oskiljaktiga. För hans skull tar hon sig ur sitt skal, för hennes skull lämnar han sina festkretsar. Men att älska Max innebär att också lära känna hans familj. Den rika familjen Rippon utstrålar generositet, social begåvning och nedtystade känslor. Deras värld är inte Kates värld. Och på en sommarfest i deras hus i London händer något som förändrar Kates liv och hennes relation med Max för alltid. Det som var rött är en insiktsfull och fängslande roman om vänskap, kärlek, traumatiska minnen, tystnadens pris och om att hitta modet att berätta. Rosie Price är 25 år gammal och kommer från Gloucestershire. Rosie läste engelska på Cambridge och arbetade sedan tre år som assistent till en litterär agent. Nu bor hon i London där hon jobbar som lärare och skriver så mycket hon kan.
