- Book Synopsis
- A STYLIST and RADIO TIMES Most Anticipated Book for 2026 'Brilliantly unsettling' Marie Claire 'Complicated, brilliant and achingly real . . . Suckerfish will quietly rip at your heart and then gently stitch it back up again' The Skinny There are women with higher callings than motherhood. And there are their daughters. Kolia is in her twenties, caring for other people's children and looking for a way out of London's dead-end days. She is not looking to be pulled back into the orbit of her passionate, fiery, vulnerable mother, but she may have no choice. In Kolia's childhood, her mother loomed large, both saint and celebrity. Now, she will go to any lengths to repair relations with her estranged daughter. A painful love letter to childishness, innocence and imagination, SUCKERFISH scrutinises what we really owe each other. 'The archetypal working, absent, vindictive mother that society is so scared of is fully realised here in complex glory' Jess Shannon, author of Cleaner 'Lewis's writing is likably feisty and alive, full of verve and pizzazz' Guardian 'Explores the knottiness of care and ambition with great empathy' Sarvat Hasin, author of Strange Girls
