DescriptionShortlisted for the 2021 Stella Prize 'Before I go into my grave,' she says out loud, 'I will kill that man.' S. L. Lim brings to vivid life the frustrations of a talented daughter and vengeful sister in a nuanced and riveting novel that ends in the most unexpected way. It will not be easily forgotten. 'A coiled spring of a novel, Revenge hits you right between the eyes.' — Malcolm Harris 'Told in three parts, Revenge is a unique bildungsroman about an older woman on a quest for self-determination and the heartbreak she endures to find herself. A fiercely feminist novel about a woman's life put to a standstill by gender bias, sexual repression and the expectations of family, Revenge is also about the weaponisation of familial love and the tragedy of unfulfilled dreams. Lim's astute rendering of the subtleties of familial power dynamics makes this novel powerful reading for all.' — Cher Tan, Books+Publishing Promotion info
