Fierce and unapologetic, Spoilt Creatures is an intoxicating debut that pulls back the skin of the patriarchy and examines the female rage that lies beneath.
They thought they knew everything about us. The kind of women we were.
When Iris—newly single and living at home with her mother—meets the mysterious and beguiling Hazel, who lives in a women’s commune, she finds herself drawn into the possibility of a new start away from the world of men who have only let her down. Here, at Breach House, the women can be loud and dirty, live and eat abundantly, all while under the leadership of their gargantuan matriarch, Blythe.
But is Breach House truly the haven it seems? And just how much can Iris trust her new family? When an unforgivable transgression threatens the commune’s existence, Iris and the other women find themselves hurtling toward an act of devastating violence.

“A simmering debut, heady with the possibilities of language and the righteousness of female rage.”
“Lush and dreamlike—a sweltering novel, where the sunlight pulses with nightmarish dread.”
“This lusciously verdant novel is rich in grit and dirt, in sensuality and oblivion.”
“A modern-day Dionysian cult of women in the woods—haunting and exhilarating.”
“Emma Cline’s The Girls meets Lord of the Flies…compelling, cultish, and utterly feral.”
