? 'If anyone is qualified to write about what it means to be a young woman in Britain today, it's Abigail Bergstrom' SUNDAY TIMES ? ? 'Bergstrom is a new voice but sure to be an enduring one' Caroline O'Donoghue ? ? 'A glorious new talent has arrived' Emma Gannon ? NOTHING HURTS LIKE FAMILY. Ines is reluctantly moving home on the edge of a breakdown, her childhood sweetheart in tow. He's only ever wanted what was best for her. Gwen is elated that her prodigal daughter has returned. Dylan is still licking her wounds from a rejection she can't forget. And Emma is quietly suffocating in the perfect marriage she wanted so badly. They were inseparable once. But that was a long time ago. Now, they're back in the Welsh town where they grew up, peeling back the layers of a once forgotten, haunting past. What they find may be the end of them... Uninhibited, claustrophobic and emotionally complex , Selfish Girls spans generations, buried resentments, and an unexpected love story. It is a clear-eyed portrait of a dysfunctional family and the pain we inflict on those we love most.
