Eve Green by Susan Fletcher

Eve Green by Susan Fletcher

With the death of a mother and the abduction of a young girl, Susan Fletcher has written a vividly beautiful novel about the innocence and terror of childhood.

‘Few coming of age novels have the beguiling power of this one … its lyrical intensity reminiscent of Laurie Lee, this is a precisely observed, immensely compelling and ultimately redemptive first novel’ Sunday Times

‘Evokes with a beguiling lyrical muscularity the peaks and troughs in the life of seven-year-old Evie’ Guardian

‘Susan Fletcher is a gifted storyteller’ Independent

‘An exceptional debut of grace and subtlety’ Observer

‘Beautifully rendered, the story moves easily from past to present, sensuously descriptive yet hauntingly sinisterEve Green is an enthralling first novel from a major new talent’ Waterstone’s Books Quarterly

'This is my kind of heroine–that good mixture of romance and spirit, courage and self-doubt–steered through a gripping rite of passage towards a disturbing–but ultimately wholly satisfying–conclusion. I couldn't put it down. Susan Fletcher is a clever, assured writer who can write truthfully
about love in its many guises' Mavis Cheek

'A most impressive debut. The writing is lyrical, the characters are vivid and alive and the story makes you want to really turn the pages. In red-haired, mother-less Eve Green, Susan Fletcher gives you a heroine you won't forget.' Marika Cobbold

Susan Fletcher was born in 1979 in Birmingham. ‘Eve Green’ was her first novel which went on to be a best-selling success; her latest novel is ‘Oystercatchers’.
