A knowingly put together page-turner; a potent blend of art, beauty, awakening desire and mortality that seduces the reader as much as the castDaily Mail

This is a vivid, sensuous novel that captures the feelings of passion and devastation of girls on the brink of womanhood and life itself, and I can’t recommend it enoughAnna Bailey, bestselling author of Tall Bones

A bruising and beautiful novel about girlhood and desire. Set over two heady summers, The Ophelia Girls perfectly captures the power and vulnerability of being a teenage girl. Within its flower-strewn pages, girls float carelessly down rivers and fall in love with devastating consequences. It's an immersive and intoxicating summer read with the long-lasting feel of a classic. I was captivated by itMolly Aitken, author of The Island Child
