'Shannons debut is a tremendous display of talent. Contemporary in its composition and fearless to experiment, the book elegantly makes bold thematic suggestions which avoid heavy-handedness' Gonzalo Ceron Garcia, author of We Are The End
A woman in her mid-twenties moves back home to live with her parents, where her listlessness fuels an obsession with cleaning, and sets in motion a series of events that lead to her posing as a model in a nude gallery where she encounters a woman whose life will intertwine with her own.
An utterly unflinching debut novel about becoming adrift: a rare and profound book about loneliness, self-expression and disillusionment, featuring sex, love, drugs " and cleaning Ian Sansom
