THE BOOK THAT WILL DEFINE A DECADE RIGHTS SOLD IN 26 TERRITORIES SOON TO BE A TV SHOW DIRECTED BY JOHAN RENCK (Chernobyl) ' An astonishing achievement. ' JESSIE BURTON ' Gripping, beautifully written perfection. ' SOPHIE HANNAH ' A masterpiece. ' LOUISE O' NEILL ' Girl A,' she said. ' The girl who escaped. If anyone was going to make it, it was going to be you. ' Lex Gracie doesn' t want to think about her family. She doesn' t want to think about growing up in her parents' House of Horrors. And she doesn' t want to think about her identity as Girl A: the girl who escaped. When her mother dies in prison and leaves Lex and her siblings the family home, she can' t run from her past any longer. Together with her sister, Evie, Lex intends to turn the House of Horrors into a force for good. But first she must come to terms with her six siblings - and with the childhood they shared. Beautifully written and incredibly powerful, Girl A is a story of redemption, of horror, and of love. If you liked Room, My Dark Vanessa and We Need to Talk About Kevin, you will love this book. ' Terrifyingly gripping. ' SUSIE STEINER COMING JANUARY 2021: PRE-ORDER YOURS NOW

' SUSIE STEINER' Fantastic, I loved it. ' PAULA HAWKINS' Gripping, beautifully written perfection. ' SOPHIE HANNAH' Girl A is truly the perfect book. Believe the hype - it really is that good. " KATIE LOWE' Beautifully written, compulsively readable. ' JEN WILLIAMS' Girl A is an absolute masterpiece: harrowing, emotive, confronting and beautifully written. An absolute scorcher of a debut. ' EMMA GANNON' Books like GIRL A don' t come along often; it gives you no option but to put your entire life on pause. One of the most compelling novels I' ve read in a long time. ' STACEY HALLS' Girl A is extraordinary. Pitch black, forensic, and uncomfortably riveting, but with such a thread of humour and tenderness' BETH MORREY' Absolutely pitch perfect. ' ELLE CROFT' Astonishing! A modern-day classic. ' JEFFERY DEAVER' Harrowing but beautiful and surprising' ADELE PARKS' Utterly unputdownable, insanely gripping' MARIAN KEYES' You' ll be thinking about GIRL A long after you turn the final page' VICTORIA SELMAN' Remarkable in every way' CHRIS WHITAKER' So powerful' ANDREW WILSON' Girl A packs a hell of a punch. Stark, shocking, heartbreaking but never, ever mawkish, I powered through it' TAMMY COHEN' Emotionally complex and beautifully written, with shades of Gillian Flynn and Ali Land, the dark secrets of Girl A unfold with cool confidence. Incredibly impressive' CATHERINE RYAN HOWARD' A tremendously assured, accomplished debut that is both compelling and horrifying in its depiction of a family sliding out of control' JANE CASEY
