A clever conceit and a compelling narrative. Edward Stourton, BBC
Radio 4 An intricately wrought and enchanting first novel, The
Intimates is a measured, literary piece of work as hauntingly
evocative of its setting and characters as Marilynne Robinson's
Pulitzer prize winner Housekeeping. Abigail Tarttellin The
Intimates believe they are the epitome of glamour. For this group
of eclectic friends, life is a playground as they sing, act, and
write their way to their dream lifestyles. But not is all as it
seems. Invited to celebrate one evening together, there is a
sinister undertone that threatens to expose each of these
brilliantly talented failures. Dark secrets unravel, and ugly
truths are revealed as each person desperately tries to hide what s
buried beneath the shimmering surface. Each trapped in a pristine
image their masks begin to slip and, for some, start to
disintegrate in a way that will alter their lives forever.
