Modern Fiction Book of the Month – Nov 2021

A searing debut novel about mothers and daughters. This is a tale of obsession and betrayal. This is a poisoned love story. But not between lovers - between mother and daughter. Tara and Antara, the woman and her angry shadow. But which one is which? Sharp as a blade and compulsively readable, Burnt Sugar slowly untangles the knot of memory and fiction that binds two women together, revealing the truth that lies beneath.   Longlisted Women's Prize for Fiction 2021. Shortlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize.   Join the Modern Fiction reading group to discuss this book!
