Leave the Girls Behind

Hauntingly astute in how crime affects those left behind. Jacqueline Bublitz is firmly on my radar

Fresh and inventive, with beautiful writing and captivating characters. I can't wait to see what Jacqueline Bublitz does next

The most wonderful book. Unusual, beautiful, feminist, gripping, deserves to win prizes. I loved it so much.

I fell head over heels in love with this heartbreaking, beautiful and hugely important novel. Jacqueline Bublitz's prose is luminous and the up-all-night, just-one-more-page plot is brilliantly clever and original. Everyone should read this book.

A brave and timely novel that will fuel the debate on women's rights to walk safely through our streets. I raced through the pages, anxious for resolution, yet at the same time not wanting this beautiful writing to finish.

An exquisitely written, absolutely devastating novel, which gives a voice to all the women who never made it home.

I fell hard for Ruth and her entourage of dead girls and couldn't put this down, desperate to unravel the connections between these women and the girls they'd left behind. An original and beautifully told story of resistance and resilience.
