Soldier Sailor by Claire Kilroy | Reading Group copies

To celebrate Soldier Sailor being longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction 2024 we’re very happy to offer 6 reading groups up to 10 copies of the paperback.

In her wildly acclaimed novel – named The Times Novel of the Year and a Book of the Year in the Guardian, FT, Economist, Irish Times, Daily Telegraph, New Statesman, Irish Independent and Independent – Claire Kilroy creates an unforgettable heroine, whose fierce love for her young son clases with the seismic change to her own identity.
As her marriage strains, and she struggles with questions of autonomy, creativity and the passing of time, an old friend makes a welcome return – but can he really offer her a lifeline to the woman she used to be?
