Addie Citchens: Dominion, Europa Editions, 9781787706156, paperback

Shortlisted for the Womens Prize for fiction, recommended by publishing friends: this is one of the most powerful novels I have read in a while. Wow.

Brilliantly narrated by two very different women, Diamond and Priscilla, who both love the same man, Wonderboy/ Manny/Emmanuel, one the girlfriend, the other the mother, both rooted in the deep Southern US  church communities and its patriachial structure, I found myself so drawn in my this wise, often funny, heartbreaking drama,  i read it in two days. Go buy it, its an incredible read.
