'In both its open-throated exclamations and its concentrated
meditations on myriad forms of pain and joy [...] Kit reaches
places other books don't.' - Max Porter Megan and Kit met in their
early twenties. Their friendship was intense, wild and true. Years
later, when Kit becomes desperately unwell, Megan tries to pull her
old friend back from the precipice, navigating the difficulties of
revisiting a relationship conceived in the great freedom of youth,
whilst attempting to remain fully present in the messy beauty of
her family life. Kit is a story of the sumptuous complication - and
precariousness - of life and relationships. It describes a call to
intimacy in a state of emergency. It is a story of one life
disrupted as another moves toward its end. Told in a spare, winding
prose-poem, with a voice reminiscent of Max Porter, Elizabeth
Smart, Kae Tempest and Rebecca Watson, Kit is a splintered,
powerful work of empathy, friendship and unconditional love.
