Loyalty, love, memory and betrayal are explored in this stylish tale of friendship. Ornella, a doctor, and Veronica, a journalist, share everything in their lives, hiding nothing from each other. But this truest of friendships does not stand the test of time, and it disintegrates into a chillingly obsessive nightmare.

'In each of her previous novels, Suzannah Dunn has filled me with admiration... She writes with extraordinary depth of understanding. Venus Flaring is a wonderful affirmation of her talent and originality. She has created two characters so real you feel you come to know them better than her own friends... Their story is by turns funny, moving and, at times, harrowing in its intensity.' Martyn Bedford
'Venus Flaring treats familiar themes to a witty and original overhaul. Dunn marries plot and themes, to create a haunting, melancholy tone perfectly suited to the sense of loss which afflicts even minor characters.' TLS
'After reading Venus Flaring no other book will strike quite so close to your soul... Dunn time after time stuns the reader. This is a vital, refreshing, terrifiyingly brilliant novel that demands to be read.' Finetime
'That stark feeling of betrayal is at its most potent when it has bitten away at a lifelong and seemingly solid friendship. In this cruel gem of a book, Suzannah Dunn writes with economy and flair. If a pacey intelligent read is what you're after, dip in and let her prose penetrate your nightmares.' The List
'Edged with insights and observations that glitter darkly... The novel's last fifty pages are unbearable to break and have to be read at one sitting.' Impact
