If you’ve loved Evicted and Invisible Child. Wrenching, enthralling reporting and storytelling following an uprooted Indigenous family who must figure out life in a city settlement. I think this book is a triumph

THE GARDEN is coming in the UK, one week from today, from @AtlanticBooks !
An eerie, psychologically thrilling gothic on pregnancy, yearning and bodily autonomy from a 'feminist voice for the twenty-first century’, perfect for fans of Shirley Jackson and Angela Carter.
