‘An excoriating debut novel that puts female rage in the spotlight. [Taddeo’s] transgressive antiheroine, making a US road trip of revenge and self-discovery, is a wisecracking voice to relish’ – Guardian
‘I don’t think there is a writer alive who writes about the interior lives of women with the raw truth and intensity [Taddeo] does . . . Fearless, sexy, brutal and just forensically observed. She is extraordinary’ – Jojo Moyes
‘A riveting, visceral examination of trauma and rage told by a writer whose prose lights a match and burns up the page. Joan is an unforgettable antiheroine. I don’t think I’ll ever stop thinking about her.’ – Elizabeth Day
