We Pretty Pieces of Flesh

Rach, Kel and Shaz bonded on the first day of big school, after Shaz lost a fight with older girls round the back of the skating rink. Since then, they shared everything from blagging their way into nightclubs, how to masturbate with an electric toothbrush and trips to the FP (Family Planning) when they're late. Everything, except what happened to Shaz in the cornfield that one summer night. So why, when Shaz and Rach bump into each other in town centre - late twenties, after the Brexit vote - are they strangers to each other? If they are ever to understand what happened to them as girls, Shaz must decide whether she has the courage to tell her secret, and risk destroying everything. Written in South Yorkshire vernacular, We Pretty Pieces of Flesh takes you by the hand and drags you through Doncaster's schoolyards, alleyways and nightclubs, bringing back the intimate treachery of teenage friendship and how we betray ourselves when we don't trust our friends.
