Write Review

Rated 0

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945), Thriller / suspense

A creeping novel from the winner of the inaugural Women's Prize Discoveries Award - perfect for fans of Sheena Patel, Eliza Clark and Ottessa Moshfegh

Alice has been cleaning Tom's flat every Wednesday for a year. With every smudge wiped from his coffee cup, every multivitamin counted from the jar, every crease smoothed out in his bed, Alice spirals deeper into infatuation. But as Alice prepares for the moment when they will finally meet face-to-face, she discovers that love might not be the cure she thought it was...

Told through the eyes of an obsessive protagonist, This Immaculate Body is a literary study of unreliability and unlikability. Exploring alienation and loneliness, class and race, it's a skilled debut with resonance in the way that we view women, mental health and the lost in society.
