Beautifully written and authentic, this novel shines an unflinching light on the darkest episodes of recent medical history. Hold Back The Night will get under your skin and lodge itself in your heartErin Kelly
Absolutely incredible. Intricate, heart-breaking, with perfect prose and characterisation. This is an author stepping into her power and it is a privilege to beholdKate Sawyer, Costa shortlisted author of The Stranding
Jessica Moor is a new young writer I believe inJeanette Winterson
