In conversation with the fantastic new author TLS calls 'Gen Z's Lady Macbeth'About this Event
Cleaner, the debut novel by Jess Shannon, has been called 'a tremendous display of talent' (Gonzalo Ceron Garcia, author of We Are The End) and ‘Sharp, funny and engaging’ (Daily Mail).
A woman in her mid-twenties moves back home to live with her parents, where her listlessness fuels an obsession with cleaning, and sets in motion a series of events that lead to her posing as a model in a nude gallery where she encounters a woman whose life will intertwine with her own.
Jess Shannon was born and raised in Birmingham and is a proud graduate of the University of Warwick Writing Programme. Her first novel has been published to huge acclaim and she will be in conversation at Redditch Library at a friendly, relaxed event.
‘An utterly unflinching debut novel about becoming adrift: a rare and profound book about loneliness, self-expression and disillusionment, featuring sex, love, drugs – and cleaning’ Ian Sansom
