Inventive, electrifying and daring, True Story is a novel like
nothing you've ever read before. 'A mind-blowing page-turning
un-put-downable heartwarming empathetic formally inventive horror
suspense thriller, with a life-affirming and timely feminist
message' Elif Batuman, author of The Idiot 'Where our obsession
with true-life crime meets page-turner' Stylist, The best summer
reads for 2020 'Provocative' Red 'Clever and inventive, this is a
supremely accomplished debut about the nature of truth in a world
littered with monsters both real and imagined. It's up to the
reader to decide which is which' Daily Express After a college
party, two boys drive a girl home: drunk and passed out in the back
seat. Rumours spread about what they did to her, but later they'll
tell the police a different version of events. Alice will never
remember what truly happened. Her fracture runs deep, hidden
beneath cleverness and wry humour. Nick - a sensitive, misguided
boy who stood by - will never forget. That's just the beginning of
this extraordinary journey into memory, fear and self-portrayal.
Through university applications, a terrifying abusive relationship,
a fateful reckoning with addiction and a final mind-bending twist,
Alice and Nick will take on different roles to each other - some
real, some invented - until finally, brought face to face once
again, the secret of that night is revealed. Startlingly relevant
and enthralling in its brilliance, True Story is by turns a campus
novel, psychological thriller, horror story and crime noir, each
narrative frame stripping away the fictions we tell about women,
men and the very nature of truth. It introduces Kate Reed Petty as
a provocative new voice in contemporary fiction.
