a DAZED best summer read of the year

Ines is reluctantly moving home on the edge of a breakdown, her childhood sweetheart in tow. He's only ever wanted what was best for her.

Gwen is elated that her prodigal daughter has returned.

Dylan is still licking her wounds from a rejection she can't forget.

And Emma is quietly suffocating in the perfect marriage she wanted so badly.

They were inseparable once. But that was a long time ago. Now, they're back in the Welsh town where they grew up, peeling back the layers of a once forgotten, haunting past. What they find may be the end of them...

Uninhibited, claustrophobic and emotionally complex, Selfish Girls spans generations, buried resentments, and an unexpected love story. It is a clear-eyed portrait of a dysfunctional family and the pain we inflict on those we love most.

Recensioni della critica

Anyone who has a sister knows what a treasured, complex, fraught and precious bond it is - a theme that Abigail Bergstrom puts at the heart of her new psychologically charged novel Selfish Girls. Following the lives of close-knit siblings growing up in a dysfunctional household in a small Welsh town, the narrative unravels across generations as each character navigates the legacy of family trauma and the complexities of female relationships. With a central mystery to uncover, this is at once a suspenseful thriller and a subtle portrait of domestic interactions, with a healthy dose of humour and hope offsetting its darker moments
I read this book obsessively, that's how much I adored it . . . a dark, messy and beautiful story about family, love and sisterhood
The story and characters felt both sharply real and ethereal at times, as though reading this novel enters you into a deep dream-like state. Complicated women, with all their intricate elements, are my favourite people to read about (Emma Gannon, SUNDAY TIMES bestseller)

One of the cleverest and boldest writers I've ever read (Scarlett Curtis)
I'm not exaggerating when I say this is literally the best book I've read in YEARS. And that's coming from a Gen Z with the attention span of a cat with a laser
An exceptionally clever and moving portrait of the messy realities of sisterhood - it took my breath away (Olivia Petter)
A dark, deeply intimate exploration of sisterhood in all it's messy, complex glory. Beautifully written and thoroughly compelling (Yomi Adegoke, SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author of THE LIST)
