Soldier Sailor is longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2024.

Well, Sailor. Here we are once more, you and me in one another's arms. The Earth rotates beneath us and all is well, for now . . .

In her first novel for over a decade, Claire Kilroy takes us deep into the early days of motherhood. Exploring the clash of fierce love for a new life with a seismic change in identity, she vividly realises the raw, tumultuous emotions of a new mother, as her marriage strains and she struggles with questions of love, autonomy, and creativity.

As she smiles at her baby, Sailor, while mentally composing her own suicide note, an old friend makes a welcome return, but can he really offer a lifeline to the woman she used to be?
