Slashed Beauties [Hardback]

Adored this gorgeous, sumptuously gothic feminist novel. Slashed Beauties moves from present-day Seoul to the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens of Georgian London in a colourful riot that examines the macabre world of the anatomical Venus and the seedy underbelly of the modern-day antiques trade, with a dash of witchcraft thrown in. It's also about sisterhood, friendship and the ties that bind a beautifully-rendered love story that spans centuries. I loved it -- Emma Cowing, author of The Show Woman Easily one of the best books I've read this year... Captivating from start to end and tells a haunting tale of feminine rage -- Abbie Eaton, author of Dragonhart The warped, witchy lovechild of Madame Tussaud and Jack the Ripper - an engrossing gothic tale of friendship, misogyny and the murderous consequence of denying women's autonomy -- Ellie Marney, author of None Shall Sleep Utterly compelling from the first page to the final, shocking twist, Slashed Beauties is a darkly exquisite story that explores the corrosive effects of misogyny and the enduring power of female love -- Christine Wells, author of The Paris Gown An extraordinary tale. Slashed Beauties left me spellbound -- Emma Grey, author of Pictures of You
