A formidable return to fiction from the bestselling author of Devil You Know, Soldier Sailor is a compelling, scorching exploration of motherhood, identity and autonomy. Longlisted for the 2024 Women's Prize for Fiction 2024.
In her acclaimed new novel, Claire Kilroy creates an unforgettable heroine, whose fierce love for her young son clashes with the seismic change to her own identity.
As her marriage strains, and she struggles with questions of autonomy, creativity and the passing of time, an old friend makes a welcome return – but can he really offer her a lifeline to the woman she used to be? In conversation with Ben Hinshaw.
