Bodies

Bodies knocks you out with the lightest of touch. It presents humans as both blatantly simple and impossible complex. This is such a beautiful book. – Eithne Shortall, author of THE LODGERS
‘Promising Young Woman’ by way of Ireland and a new literary voice that wields her pen like a scalpel … shocking, subversive and unforgettable. – Catherine Ryan Howard, author of 56 DAYS
Christine Anne Foley invites us to think about the way a woman operates in a society where her body feels owned by others as must as it is by herself. It’s a story about sex, death, growing up and making choices about who and how you love. * Irish Times *
A delightful debut with depth and darkness … This is a modern fable. As with all good fables, there’s a strong and authentic protagonist, plenty of darkness and plenty of surprises. Ultimately, although there’s violence and horrible behaviour throughout, this is a fun read. * Sunday Independent *
There’s a life to Bodies … readers will be intrigued by her femme fatale. * Irish Sunday Times *
