Wild Spinning Girls
by Carol Lovekin and Eat. Sleep. Rage. Repeat. by Rebecca Roberts

by Carol Lovekin

Honno, £8.99

Wild Spinning Girls by Carol Lovekin (Honno) and Eat. Sleep. Rage. Repeat. by Rebecca Roberts (Gomer) are novels powered by a strong chorus of predominantly female voices. Featuring young women in peril, buried secrets, and troubled pasts, they are, ostensibly, stories of darkness. However, both tales also portray the qualities of resilience, courage, and an enduring adherence to what’s good and right. There are no helpless victims here, and there is light at the end of the tunnel for all who are eager to go along for the ride.
