“Mythic, magical and poetic”

“Voluptuous, sinuous, the passion of it is head-on”

 

Mannis Poor is Girl- amnesiac, revelator, mute. 

On her transformative  pilgrimage to the desert she begins to recall what led her to kill. Determined to take back control from those who robbed her of power, she reaps revenge on her attackers, creating a warped fairy-tale world in which she becomes the vigilante Queen. 
 
Girl takes the reader through sensory landscapes, fragments of memories and vivid flashbacks of transgressions and transformations. 
Celtic mythology, alchemy and poetry collide in this tale of lost innocence and a girl’s struggle for freedom from  the male gaze, violent desires and bloody colonialism.
