76 reviewsRendered in dazzling prose, First Love is an account of the relationship between two catastrophically ill-suited people walking a precarious line between relative calm and explosive confrontation.
"In six short novels of increasing refinement, the English writer Gwendoline Riley has explored the everyday terrors of family and conversation... distinguished by bleak humour, remarkably vivid dialogue and flint-sharp prose." - Timothy Farrington, The Wall Street Journal
Catastrophically ill-suited for each other, and forever straddling a line between relative calm and explosive confrontation, Neve and her husband, Edwyn, live together in London. For the moment they have reached a place of peace in their relationship, but past battles have left scars. As Neve recalls the decisions that brought her to Edwyn, she describes other loves and other debts - from her bullying father and her self-involved mother to a musician she struggled to forget.
"An exceptionally good novel. Compressed to the limit of viability and yet filled with startlingly memorable descriptions and images... An impossible little wonder of a book, terrifying and horrible... Alarming, provocative, almost antagonistic - the reader pitched against the writer in a redrawing of battle lines. Take up the gauntlet with Gwendoline Riley: it’s worth it." - Alex Clark, TLS
Drawing us into the battleground of this marriage, Gwendoline Riley tells a transfixing story of mistakes and misalliances, of helplessness and hostility, in which both husband and wife have played a part. Could this possibly be, nonetheless, a story of love?
