An Observer Best New Novelist 2026  __________________  EVER FELT READY TO HOWL? __________________   Hyper-competent start up CFO Ellie is 46-year-old and like most women, is already juggling too much. Daughter's not talking to her, husband's not listening to her, and she's got a promotion coming up at work. It's an inconvenient time to be beset by mid-life symptoms: coarse hair in new places, hot flushes, insomnia, losing time . . . finding bloodstains on all her clothing, howling at the moon.   Her doctor diagnoses perimenopause. But it's another 28-day cycle that's taking hold. One involving fur, and teeth, and a not insignificant amount of rage.   Suddenly the troubles in her life - hot flushes, thankless family, spiralling to-do list, oblivious husband, the w*nker promoted above her at work - seem almost . . . bite-size.   A deeply gratifying, highly addictive and provocative read, Femme Feral is an exhilarating expression of feminine rage, with a warning: If you swallow your anger, it's sure to come back with a bite. __________________  - Femme Feral was an Observer Best New Novelist 2026 and a GoodReads Most Anticipated Novel 2026 - Readers say the book 'blends social commentary with dark humour and full blown feral rage' and is 'definitely one to pick up if you love female rage and werewolves!' __________________  'Savage, witty, gory, heartfelt, utterly relatable rage fantasy and a helluva good time' Lauren Beukes, The Shining Girls 'A modern feminist classic' Sunday Times Style 'A cathartic, necessary read' Catriona Silvey, Meet Me in Another Life","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67845098471578,"sku":"9781526687883","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/1625\/7690\/files\/9781526687883-us-300.jpg?v=1792062637","url":"https:\/\/castlebooks.com.au\/products\/9781526687883-femme-feral-observer-debut-novelist-of-the-year-2026","provider":"Castlebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
