Brilliant Blue

"Bold, beautiful and ebullient, it fizzes with life and dazzles with sheer power and intelligence" – Alison MacLeod

"Perfectly constructed, wonderfully written stories" – Suzanne Joinson

"Moving and powerful. This is such an important book." – Ed Hogan

Welcome to the infamous Duncock Estate. Nestled on the South English coast, it is a place where identity matters; where people hold down jobs and do their best. Where taboos are broken, adultery is committed, and problems can't be wished away. But even tragedy can be tinged with fragile hopes and humour.

Brilliant Blue is a remarkable debut collection. Its characters are as rich, complex, dark and ambitious as any you will find in fiction. Let Karen Stevens lead you into areas where few writers dare to tread.
