Join us for the launch of Carly Holmes' latest novel, Crow Face, Doll Face,  published by Honno Press.

Her latest book is  full of strangeness and extraordinary twists, games and trickery.  Perfect for anyone wanting to be swept up into a dark, magical read!

Unhappily married mother of four, Annie is drowning in domestic  servitude. She often wonders what her life could have been had she not  had children, but when her youngest daughters perform a seemingly  impossible act of levitation, her life is touched with magic and she  realises that her girls are truly special and that she must protect  them. Eventually Annie musters the courage to leave the wreck of her  marriage, but she commits a terrible, unthinkable, unmotherly act along  the way.

Crow Face, Doll Face explores being forced to live with the  consequences of the decisions we make and the fantasies we construct to  soothe ourselves when the life we live falls far short of the life we  planned.
