A searing debut novel about mothers and daughters, obsession and betrayal – for fans of Jenny Offill, Deborah Levy, Rachel Cusk and Diana Evans

‘I would be lying if I said my mother’s misery has never given me pleasure.’

This is a tale of obsession and betrayal. This is a poisoned love story. But not between lovers – between mother and daughter. Tara and Antara, a woman and her angry shadow. But which one is which?

Sharp as a blade and compulsively readable, Burnt Sugar slowly untangles the knot of memory and rumour that binds two women together, revealing the truth that lies beneath.
