SELECTED FOR STYLIST'S BOOKS YOU CAN'T MISS IN 2022 - 'A MUST READ'
'An exhilarating debut' GUARDIAN 'A fresh new voice in fiction, wry
and sharp and raw' EMMA CLINE 'I still remember where I was when I
first encountered a Saba Sams story' NICOLE FLATTERY 'I fell for
this stunning collection with a rare, consuming passion' MEGAN
NOLAN ____________________________________________________________
In ten dazzling stories, Saba Sams dives into the world of girlhood
and immerses us in its contradictions and complexities: growing up
too quickly, yet not quickly enough; taking possession of what one
can, while being taken possession of; succumbing to societal
pressure but also orchestrating that pressure. These young women
are feral yet attentive, fierce yet vulnerable, exploited yet
exploitative. Threading between clubs at closing time, pub toilets,
drenched music festivals and beach holidays, these unforgettable
short stories deftly chart the treacherous terrain of growing up -
of intense friendships, of ambivalent mothers, of uneasily blended
families, and of learning to truly live in your own body. With
striking wit, originality and tenderness, Send Nudes celebrates the
small victories in a world that tries to claim each young woman as
its own.

and menace of sexual attraction, friendship and family with bravery
and wit' CHRIS POWER CHOSEN AS A BOOK OF THE 2022 BY THE GUARDIAN,
