    Published March 8, 2018 from Fourth Estate/ Harper Collins UK.

    Featured in Elle’s “Books To Read This International Women’s Day” and Cosmopolitan’s Best Books To Sink Your Teeth Into.

    A young woman moves from the countryside to the city. Inexplicably, inexorably and immediately, she falls in love with another woman for the first time in her life. Finn is nineteen years older than her, wears men’s clothes, has a cocky smirk of a smile – and a long-term girlfriend. With precision, wit and tenderness, WOMEN charts the frenzy and the fall out of love.

    “One of the hottest and saddest and best books I’ve ever read.”
    —Zoe Kazan, actress and playwright

    “Heady, evocative and sensual. Caldwell’s exploration of relationships and identity blends brutal and fragile truths with great skill. A remarkable talent.”
    —Anneliese Mackintosh, author of Any Other Mouth

    “Her books are poetic, intimate page-turners, and demonstrate Caldwell’s knack for slicing through the bullshit. One of the most endearing and exciting writers of a generation.”
    —Los Angeles Review of Books

    “Proving herself an invaluable voice in queer literature.”
    —OUT Magazine
