Synopsis

In suburban America, a stay-at-home mother unravels as isolation pushes her towards a shocking transformation.

Once an ambitious artist, the mother now spends her days caring for her young son while her husband travels for work. As her exhaustion and resentment build, she notices new instincts, new appetites, and a destabilising shift in her sense of self.

What begins as doubt hardens into something wilder. Her body changes. Her desires sharpen. In embracing the persona of ‘Nightbitch’ she confronts domestic confinement, creative frustration and the cultural expectations placed on women.

Blending the surreal with the intimate, this powerful novel of transformation and self-reclamation examines what is lost and what might be found when a woman refuses to remain obedient, grateful, and small.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

At home full-time with her two-year-old son, an artist finds she is struggling. She is lonely and exhausted. She had imagined - what was it she had imagined? Her husband, always travelling for his work, calls her from faraway hotel rooms. One more toddler bedtime, and she fears she might lose her mind.

Instead, quite suddenly, she starts gaining things, surprising things that happen one night when her child will not sleep. Sharper canines. Strange new patches of hair. New appetites, new instincts. And from deep within herself, a new voice...

With its clear eyes on contemporary womanhood and sharp take on structures of power, Nightbitch is an outrageously original, joyfully subversive read that will make you want to howl in laughter and recognition. Addictive enough to be devoured in one sitting, this is an unforgettable novel from a blazing new talent.
