Untitled Book 1

The Stardust Grail

Salomé was bullied for years and no one did a single thing to help her. One day she finally snapped. Now at just sixteen years old, she's being held in a secure unit for young offendersSalomé's counsellor, the man whose good opinion is key to her release, is best known for his racist gaffes on reality TV. Her father has recently been diagnosed with liver cancer and her elder sister Miriam's main preoccupation is to get out of their small, close-minded village as soon as possible. Both at home and in the unit, things are unbearably tense. Salomé finds it hard to keep her temper and harder still to think about the crime she is charged with committing. But as time passes, she finds new strength to delve into the reasons for her rage and arrive at her own understanding of punishment, penitence and the paradoxical demands made on her existence as a Black woman. Raw and unsentimental, Confrontations is a powerful depiction of racism and resilience from one of the Netherlands' most exciting new literary voices.

Salomé was bullied for years and no one did a single thing to help her.
One day she finally snapped.
Now at just sixteen years old, she's being held in a secure unit for young offenders

Salomé's counsellor, the man whose good opinion is key to her release, is best known for his racist gaffes on reality TV. Her father has recently been diagnosed with liver cancer and her elder sister Miriam's main preoccupation is to get out of their small, close-minded village as soon as possible. Both at home and in the unit, things are unbearably tense.

Salomé finds it hard to keep her temper and harder still to think about the crime she is charged with committing. But as time passes, she finds new strength to delve into the reasons for her rage and arrive at her own understanding of punishment, penitence and the paradoxical demands made on her existence as a Black woman. Raw and unsentimental, Confrontations is a powerful depiction of racism and resilience from one of the Netherlands' most exciting new literary voices.

Confrontations

I'm infamous for killing someone twenty years ago. Someone I once loved. Lucy Golden is a true crime icon, infamous for killing someone as a teenager while in a cult led by her father. Twenty years later, still coasting on the original success of the memoir she wrote as a teenager, Lucy reluctantly makes a deal with hot documentary filmmaker Isaac Coleman to revisit the trauma of her past. Take a risk. It won't kill you. At The Oasis fifteen-year-old Lucy believed she had finally found acceptance and belonging - only to stumble upon a horrific realization and violently take matters into her own hands... When everyone acts like you have no power, it's important to remind them that you do. Now she must walk a tightrope between feeding Isaac enough material to keep him onside, whilst desperately protecting a long-buried secret that could destroy the story she's been telling and selling all along...

One of the Observer's Debut Novels of 2024

Going Home

Dark academia about a working class student's transformative first year at a prestigious university, surrounded by gothic architecture, secret societies and witchcraft.&nbsp;

These Mortal Bodies

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. A 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. Bubbling 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. Moving 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.

Anika finally feels like the woman she's meant to be. But what if she's trying so hard to be in control that she loses her true self? What if, after everything, she was enough all along?A devastatingly romantic, breathlessly sexy and completely unputdownable novel about what it means to truly live, and why the greatest love of our life might be ourselves.
