The Seawomen

Beautifully written ... a great concept, brilliantly executed, and it is essential reading for dystopian fiction fans

If you're looking for your next Handmaid's Tale-esque fix, this is it

Timms unmasks organised religion as a gleaming fa ade for misogynistic cults, and explores how easily whispered rumours can spiral into mass hysteria. Bonus points for her shockingly nasty villain, Father Jessop - SFX

An unsettling and lushly-written reimagining of witch trials, exploring fertility, control and how what we believe can save us - or destroy us. The Handmaid's Tale meets The Shape of Water

A gripping tale of love and bravery; The Seawomen immerses you in its watery world.

This book sucked me under and held me in its gorgeous, terrifying embrace. It's a rare treat to read a story so gripping told in such beautiful prose. Dive in and don't look back.

Richly atmospheric, powerful and provocative. A raw and beautiful coming of age story.

I read this beautiful novel in a fever dream, its sweeping prose carrying me away like a boat out at sea. Chloe Timms has written an extraordinary tale of one woman's desire for freedom, for love. Mesmerising and moving, I couldn't put it down.
