A women’s commune under pressure

Newly single and living with her mother, Iris is drawn by Hazel to Breach House, a women’s commune led by the imposing Blythe. The prospect of starting over outside the disappointing world of men gives way to questions about trust and whether the commune is as safe as it appears. When a serious transgression puts Breach House at risk, the women face a crisis that points toward violence. The setup brings together female anger, chosen community, and the uncertainty of belonging to a group whose protections may have limits.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in fiction centered on women’s communities and questions of belonging.
  • Readers drawn to stories about female anger, trust, and the pressures within a close-knit group.

Book overview

Fierce and unapologetic, Spoilt Creatures is an intoxicating debut that pulls back the skin of the patriarchy and examines the female rage that lies beneath.

They thought they knew everything about us. The kind of women we were.

When Iris--newly single and living at home with her mother--meets the mysterious and beguiling Hazel, who lives in a women's commune, she finds herself drawn into the possibility of a new start away from the world of men who have only let her down. Here, at Breach House, the women can be loud and dirty, live and eat abundantly, all while under the leadership of their gargantuan matriarch, Blythe.

But is Breach House truly the haven it seems? And just how much can Iris trust her new family? When an unforgivable transgression threatens the commune's existence, Iris and the other women find themselves hurtling toward an act of devastating violence.
