Luster

'Luster is entirely remarkable, and the most delicious novel I've read. I couldn't get enough of Raven Leilani's starkly accurate portrayal of the nuances of being a young woman today.'
Candice Carty-Williams, author of Queenie

'A comedic, crystalline, and delightfully sharp portrait of a young woman coming to embody her own artistic power.'
Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist

'A darkly funny, hilariously moving debut from a stunning new voice. I couldn't put this one down.'
Brit Bennett, author of The Vanishing Half

'A joy to read. Raven Leilani's writing is simply stunning in its reach and originality. Here is writing with edge, flair, humour and tough-love compassion.'
Diana Evans, author of Ordinary People

'This book is luminous, glorious. From the first sentence I knew there was word-magic here and that I would read any sentence Leilani cares to write. What a marvel.'
Daisy Johnson, author of Everything Under

'Ridiculously good: gorgeous, dark, and funny, with sentences that'll wreck you. I will follow this author anywhere she wants to take me.'
Carmen Maria Machado, author of In the Dream House
