Description
Orchid and the Wasp by Caoilinn Hughes is a novel that explores the complex relationships between ideals, ambitions, and exploitation in society. Gael Foess's life is marked by her single-minded parents' careerism and her father's sudden departure during the 2008 crash, forcing her to navigate the system to build a life-raft for her loved ones. Written in electric prose, this novel delves into themes of sexuality, class, and politics with joyful, anarchic fury. Hughes announces herself as a rising star of literary fiction with a story that is both heart-stopping and dazzlingly original. Shortlisted for several awards, including the Butler Literary Award and the Hearst Big Book Awards 2019, Orchid and the Wasp is a compelling read for those interested in literary fiction and coming-of-age stories.
