SALMA EL-WARDANY, author of THESE IMPOSSIBLE THINGS'Radojevic’s stories and fragments are so sharp-edged they could draw blood. Fierce, funny and angry.' CATHERINE MAYER, author TIME\/LIFE***Across thirty striking tales, Monika Radojevic weaves together the surreal with the everyday, confronting the experiences of contemporary womanhood with a tender ferocity shot through with humour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA woman walks into a bar, and nobody notices. A newly married couple are punished for their childlessness with an unsettling nocturnal invasion. A girl trades her vocal cords for a chance at freedom. A door-to-door salesperson offers the antidote to women’s fear – but it comes at a high price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBubbling with an urgent rage that occasionally tips over into vengeance, Radojevic deftly charts the moments that make a life: from the warmth of first love to the recognition of anger, and the possibilities that take shape as we find or lose our ability to speak. A Beautiful Lack of Consequence explores the ways in which the world bends and breaks women with the pressure it puts on them – and what happens when those women snap back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoving and irreverent, dark and otherworldly, A Beautiful Lack of Consequence is a blazing debut collection from the winner of the #Merky Books New Writers’ Prize.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e***'Thoughtful, introspective and darkly funny' READER REVIEW'So beautiful and raw' READER REVIEW'Biting . . . a must read!'
