Bold, intriguing, and psychologically compelling, "Penance" is a book that will stay with you always once you read it. Perfect for readers who enjoy true crime and unreliable narrators, "Penance" is a book that will leave you speechless.
Thank you NetGalley and Harper for an advanced copy on exchange for an honest review.
@tabbyjones@bookstodon I'm reading this right now! It's even better than BOY PARTS, which knocked my socks off. Eliza Clark is my present favorite of the Granta 20 authors. I am determined to get to them all eventually in the next year. And I think I now have at least one book from all twenty! Although I will have to double-check. I'm debating whether or not to do a Granta 20, Ranked list. 🤣
@edwardchampion@bookstodon I want to read Boy Parts after reading Penance and I have the collection of Granta shortlisted writers and can't wait to read that!
A comment leapt out at me and made me smile when I realised what it meant, as my generation began w inkwells and nib pens. No judgment at all, as long as they keep writing.
"... many of them play fast and loose with form – they grew up writing with their thumbs. "
Happy reading.
