'Shrewd, cool, sure and insightful' - Independent
'A literary Lolita' - Vanity Fair
'Electric, irreverent prose. When people talk about voice, this is what they mean' - Ethan Hawke
'A gorgeous novel' - Julie Burchill
____________
In Sadie's head, she's a novelist. In real life, she spends her day searching for the ultimate way to say red at Grrl, an ultra hip make-up company. In her sex life, she's a modern-day Lolita who's never dated a man under forty.
Then Sadie falls in love with Marley, a graffiti artist with a firm commitment to another woman: his eight-year-old daughter, Montana. Sadie isn't used to competing for a man's affections and certainly not with a little girl who is uncannily like herself. Real love could just be too grown up for her...
Cherries in the Snow is a novel about womanhood, love, and lipstick. Flippant, sexy, acid and smart, this is Emma Forrest at her most dazzling.
