The Stranger by Kathryn Hore
4.0
Gripping, horrifying and ultimately deeply satisfying, this is the story of 16 yo Chelsea, who's the only one asking questions in a misogynistic, violent town on the brink of collapse. Then a stranger rides into town. A woman.
Great writing, wonderful characterisation. I pretty much read it in one sitting, because I couldn't put it down. Thanks to Allen & Unwin for sending me a copy, and congrats to Kathryn Hore for a book that not only takes us into a whole new genre, but also subverts the old one so satisfyingly.
