An astonishing debut by a visionary new voice; `A strange and original work of art' - George Saunders, winner of the 2017 Man Booker Prize `Ferocious, startling, all-consuming' Daisy Johnson, author of Fen `Poetic' Independent `The language is scintillating, the emotional heft remarkable' Observer `Daring' Sunday Times Something has happened to Peach. Blood runs down her legs and the scent of charred meat lingers on her flesh. It hurts to walk. She can patch herself up, sew back together what has been torn, but the smell of burning sausage fat still fills her nostrils, and her dreams are haunted by the gaping memory of a mouth, and her stomach is swollen as tight as a drum. Mesmerising and daring, beautiful and strange, Peach is a debut of unforgettable power.
