"This season's most-anticipated first outing." (Vogue) "A Lynchian
reinterpretation of The Virgin Suicides." (Observer) "An
astonishing debut that will burrow under your skin." (Sunday Times)
In Falls Landing, Florida - a place built of theme parks, swampy
lakes, and scorched bougainvillea flowers - something sinister
lurks in the deep. A gang of thirteen-year-old girls obsessively
orbit around the local preacher's daughter, Sammy. She is
mesmerizing, older, and in love with Eddie. But suddenly, Sammy
goes missing. Where is she? Watching from a distance, they edge
ever closer to discovering a dark secret about their fame-hungry
town and the cruel cost of a ticket out. What they uncover will
continue to haunt them for the rest of their lives. Through a
darkly beautiful and brutally compelling lens, Dizz Tate captures
the violence, horrors, and manic joys of girlhood. Brutes is a
novel about the seemingly unbreakable bonds in the 'we' of young
friendship, and the moment it is broken forever.
