First Love (New York Review Books Classics)

This is a gripping and emotionally charged novel that delves into the complexities of familial and marital dysfunction.

Through the eyes of Neve, a writer in her mid-thirties married to an older man, Edwyn, the reader is taken on a journey of helplessness and hostility, but also of love.

With razor-sharp dialogue and vivid prose, Riley explores the everyday terrors of family and conversation, and the ways in which our past experiences shape our present.

This is a must-read for anyone who has ever been in a toxic relationship or struggled with their own emotions.
