Description

The Saddest Sound by Deborah Delano A striking debut novel that brings a fresh voice to English crime fiction. Set in 1980s northern Britain, this authentic story follows two courageous lesbian prostitutes who ally with sympathetic radfems to expose a brutal and misogynistic serial killer. Deborah Delano treats her subject with insight, wit and candour, creating complex and visionary female characters who are far from the conventional helpless victims of traditional crime fiction. This is a powerful exploration of survival, cultural recognition and resistance in an environment of casual oppression. Currently working on a second novel for publication, this debut novel showcases Delano's skill as a writer and her ability to tackle difficult subjects with sensitivity and nuance.
