Lucky Red

‘Claudia Cravens is a masterful new talent and her debut is a breath of fresh air. Red is Cravens’ subversive take on western fiction: it’s a deftly told, absorbing coming-of-age story about a young woman’s life in a Dodge City brothel, and one of the most heartfelt and thrilling books I’ve read in ages.’ - Laura Wilkinson, Laura Wilkinson‘A renegade Western alternating between lonely darkness, feverish desire and thrilling action. Lucky Red made for such cinematic reading that I forgot it was a book!’ - Frances Cha, author of IF I HAD YOUR FACE‘Lucky Red is a thrilling and surprising story of deep human hunger and desire, of the ache that lives in all of us, and the sometimes violent lengths that we will go to feel seen and loved and understood.’ - Lynn Stegner Strong, author of WANT
