Reviews
Sensational books transcend the very form they elevate by delivering a purity of thought with seeming effortlessness and here, in Mongrel, Hanako Footman conveys the truth of the world in lucid but spinning, transcendental sentences. It's so beautiful that I became lost in it, and I can't find the right words because they are all in this book. Simply, it must be readLisa Taddeo, author of THREE WOMEN and ANIMAL
Mongrel is a hypnotic, haunting exploration of identity and womanhood. A darkly lush tale of three women in search of connectionCharmaine Wilkerson, author of BLACK CAKE
Mongrel is a stunning read. A brilliant explosion of writing and storytelling with one of the most unique and powerful voices I've come across in an author. This feels like reading an Oscar-winning filmAisling Bea
MONGREL is an unforgettable novel that is raw and thought-provoking with exceptional poetic prose. It explores identity and belonging in a way that speaks to your soul and makes you feel seen. I absolutely loved it - it's nothing short of exquisite.Josie Ferguson, author of THE SILENCE IN BETWEEN
