Woman Beware Woman and Wild Nights - Emma Tennant

Woman Beware Woman

Set on the south coast of Ireland, this chilling account of amorous obsession, exclusion and revenge features women and their conflicting loyalties- to their images of themselves, to the men they love, to each other.

‘A mind, we see, is at the end of its tether and so is the society, for a murder has been done and no one will acknowledge it. The whole surface, now, seems to have been built on a fault which is cracking open; violence and magic are showing through the gaps… throughout the book Emma Tennant writes with great strength and imaginative power. The result shocks and frightens.’ Guardian

Wild Nights

To the family in the house crouched in the northern valley between the hills, Aunt Zita’s annual visits, like the north wind that accompanies her, bring chaos, terror and enchantment.

‘The year’s best novel…a whirlwind of pure imagination, and for that reason far more “real” than most so-called realistic fiction: as exhilarating as racing the rapids in a glass gondola with a white witch at the helm.’ J. G. Ballard
