The Word: We Go Around in the Night and are Consumed by Fire – Julies Grant

"Original, moving and written in a blistering prose style that is thrilling to read, this book is the real, raw deal." - Julia Bell Jules Grant in conversation with Julia Bell discussing Jules's debut novel We Go Around in the Night and are Consumed by Fire. We've been massively excited about this book coming out for ages. It's a brilliant and gritty contemporary gangster lesbian revenge thriller. We know, sounds fantastic right? Please RSVP here on Facebook. Doors 7pm with a 3 door charge but free refreshments. The Book This game-changing literary revenge thriller, voiced by lesbian gangster Donna and her precocious god-daughter Aurora, is steeped in the violence and politics of Manchester's criminal underworld. Best friends since they met as children in care, Donna and Carla run the allfemale Bronte Close Gang, carving out their own empire in the toughest streets of Manchester. Unlike the hot-headed men who make up most of the city's gangs, frequently caught up in violent turf warfare, the women keep their heads down running their business their way: partying on Canal Street, selling drugs in perfume atomisers in club toilets, and working as cleaners to account for their illegal income.
