Feminist thrillers to celebrate 'SWEAT' by Emma Healey
Hannah
How about breaking up the wintriest of months with a tale of power and obsession?
In her new novel Sweat Emma Healey, author of the much loved Elizabeth is Missing, offers just this and we’re delighted to be welcoming her to the shop on January 28th!
In honour of the book, we've put together a wee list of punchy, uneasy, ever surprising feminist thrillers, which play with the genre and its conventi0ns. These range from the lyrical to the pacey, some using humour as a tool for political points and others offering echoes of familiar tropes in ways you've never seen them before.
You can read more about, Sweat, a feminist thriller set in the claustrophobic atmosphere of a gym, and get your tickets HERE.
