Flesh of the Peach

An intense journey into and out of rage and grief, via sex and violence, following 27 year-old artist, Sarah Browne and set mostly in the American Southwest. In New York, the ending of Sarah`s recent relationship with a married woman has coincided with the death of her estranged, aristocratic mother, leaving her a substantial amount of money and an unrecognised burden of toxic grief. Rather than return home to England, she decides to travel by Greyhound to her mother`s cabin in New Mexico. There she`s drawn into a passionate relationship with Theo, a man whose quiet stability seems to complement her mercurial character. But as Sarah`s emotional turmoil grows, there are warning signs that tragedy could ensue. In Flesh of the Peach Scottish First Book of the Year winner, Helen McClory, paints a beautiful and painful portrait of a woman`s unravelling, combining exquisite, and at times experimental, prose with a powerful understanding of the effects of unresolved loss. McClory is one of the most exciting literary talents to emerge from Scotland in recent years.
