Suckerfish

Kolia has sworn this is the last time she'll be lured home again by her mother, the most charming woman on earth . . . and probably the most chaotic. Her mother is a world class human rights lawyer - and a law unto herself - whilst Kolia currently spends her days joylessly tutoring the spoiled children of the uber rich. But as Kolia tries to escape her mother's gravitational pull and find her own calling in a homeland she's never visited before adulthood, she begins to wonder if she's running away - or slowly turning into the woman she's trying to leave behind.Praise for Winter Animals, winner of the 2025 Betty Trask Prize'Lewis is definitely a new talent to watch' MARIE CLAIRE'Dreamlike, piercing' Cecile Pin, author of WANDERING SOULS'Lewis is superbly talented' Katherine Rundell, author of SUPER-INFINITE and THE GOLDEN MOLE'Atmospheric as hell, beautiful and delightfully intelligent' Jenny Mustard, author of OKAY DAYS'Exhilarating and fabulous, I raced through it' Priscilla Morris, author of BLACK BUTTERFLIES'A debut full of ideas.
