With her dazzling debut novel about friendship, Thirst Trap, set in Belfast

Chair: Bridget Foreman

A writer from Belfast, now based in Newcastle upon Tyne, she has recently completed her PhD at Newcastle University on eighteenth century women’s life-writing. Thirst Trap, however, is very definitely set in the 21st Century. It is a blazing, bittersweet, bitingly funny, and painfully relatable story about the friendships that endure through the very best and the very worst of times.

'Hilarious and gut-wrenching' - Alice Slater, author of Death of a Bookseller
