Spoilt Creatures is the debut novel by British author Amy Twigg. Set in 2008, it follows the story of Iris, a newly single woman who joins a women’s commune after she meets the beguiling Hazel, intrigued by the possibility of a world away from men.

Author of The Mercies, Karen Millwood Hargrave, called it ‘a simmering debut, heady with the possibilities of language and the righteousness of female rage’.

Beth spoke to Amy about Spoilt Creatures and its themes. You can pick up a copy at Time Out Bookstore or another independent bookstore near you.
