Strange Girls Utterly unmissable literary fiction

'Touching, infuriating and painfully true, Strange Girls is a superlative novel by one of our most perceptive writers. Sarvat Hasin is an artist whose work demands to be read.' Julia Armfield, author of Private Rites 'Simply sublime-about that feverish, feral first finding of true friendship that becomes all-encompassing and reforms who you are.' Kiran Milwood Hargrave, author of The Mercies From award-winning author Sarvat Hasin comes a stunning novel about two estranged friends forced to reunite over one feverish weekend and reckon with the choices that tore them apart. A decade has passed since Ava spoke to Aliya. Aliya has everything Ava wants-a room of her own and a publishing deal-and, worse, the thing Ava was certain neither of them had ever wanted: a sensible doctor husband. Arriving back in London for a mutual friend's hen party, Ava is desperate to unpack the truth of their shared history and what they meant to each other. Aliya and Ava first met in the halls of their historic campus with dreams built upon Emily Brontë, Brideshead Revisited and Richard Curtis films. Their connection was electric.
