Nineteen-year-old Millie O'Reilly is clever, spiky and adored by men yet utterly forlorn. Increasingly disillusioned, she seeks an escape in the underbelly of Liverpool...
Shockingly candid and brutally poetic, Helen Walsh has created a portrait of a city and a generation that offers a female perspective on the harsh truth of growing up in today's Britain.
Brass is an unsettling but ultimately compassionate account of the possibilities of identity and the desirability of love.
Walsh's first novel is an amazing insight into female sexuality. Utterly shocking yet completely endearing, this novel is gripping from the first page. Just be warned, it's not for the fainthearted.
Raw, sometimes revolting but always compulsive.
If you want to find a new sense of what it is like to be a woman in England today, Brass is the most striking coming-of-age story that I have read for a long time . . . Helen Walsh is up there with Irvine Welsh in her ability to show what it is that draws people to the extremes of pleasure.
