One of Cosmopolitan UK's Best Erotic Novels of All Time
"Brief, sharp, and utterly consuming. . . Like your first love, it lingers long after the final chapter." â Tegan Quin
"A contemporary classic of queer women's writing." â Michelle Tea
"Her prose has a reckless beauty that feels to me like magic.â â Cheryl Strayed
"[A] gorgeously composed queer novel thatâs about so much more than romantic love.â âVogue
The cult-classic novella that intimately explores one young writerâs whirlwind and whiplash affair as she falls deeply in love with a woman for the first time.
Sometimes I wonder what it is I could tell you about her for my job here to be done. I am looking for a shortcut. . . .But that would be asking too much from you. It wasnât you who loved her.
A young writer moves from the country to the city and falls in love with another woman for the very first time. From the start, the relationship is doomed; Finn is nineteen years older, wears menâs clothes, has a cocky smirk of a smile . . . and a long-term girlfriend.
With startling clarity and breathtaking tenderness, Chloé Caldwell writes the story of a love in reverse: of nights spent drunkenly hurling a phone against a brick wall; of early mornings hungover in bed, curled up together; of emails and poems exchanged at breakneck speed. In Women, Caldwell lays bare the fierce obsession of addictive love, and asks the question: what, if anything, can who we love teach us about who we are?
In this beautiful, transcendent, bracingly sexy novella, Caldwell tells a lust-love story that will bring you to your knees. Capturing the feverish heartbreak of Sapphic romance, painting a stark picture of an identity in crisis, and illuminating the exploratory possibilities of queer life, Women brands the heart and sears the soul.
