An evening with Amy Twigg - Guildford

Join us to celebrate the release of Amy Twigg's debut novel Spoilt Creatures, already an Observer top ten best new novelist for 2024!
It was a place for women. A remote farm tucked away in the Kent Downs. A safe space.
When Iris – newly single and living at home with her mother – meets the mysterious and beguiling Hazel, who lives in a women’s commune, she finds herself drawn into the possibility of a new start away from the world of men who have only let her down. Here, at Breach House, the women can be loud and dirty, live and eat abundantly, all while under the leadership of their gargantuan matriarch, Blythe.
But even among the women, there are power struggles, cruelty and transgressions that threaten their precarious way of life. When a group of men arrives on the farm, the commune’s existence is thrown into question, hurtling Iris and the other women towards an act of devastating violence.
Intense and intimate, Twigg's firecracker debut delivers a wild story of hidden passions, power struggles and feral freedom in a women's commune on a remote farm in Kent.
We're delighted that Tom Newlands, author of the brilliant debut Only Here, Only Now, will be our interviewer.
