Honey

Shortlisted for the Staunch Book Prize 2019

How far would you go for love?

As 24-year-old Nicole Hewett mourns at her father's grave, she worries about her mother, badly injured in the car accident that killed him, and whether they'll be able to make ends meet. Then she sees her beloved childhood friend, Honey, standing beside her old Cadillac. As Honey approaches, Nicole realises how numb she's felt ever since Honey fled their hometown without explanation six years earlier. Before long, Nicole's old fascination with Honey is reignited, along with a new desire for her wild, charismatic friend. But the prodigal has returned bearing secrets and troubles, and when Honey disappears again Nicole must decide: Is her lover in peril? Or is she the peril?

'Sinuous and captivating, Honey is a novel about friendship, obsession, and the troubling, and even perliious ambiguities behind motivations and desires.' - Foreword Reviews
