When the narrator of True Things About Me meets a charismatic man at work, they quickly begin to build a life together. But what lies beneath is a relationship immersed in lust and obsession. When her lover’s visits become increasingly erratic, and she takes a decision to delve into his past, their relationship begins to unravel.

The story of a woman falling through the cracks of her own life, True Things About Me is a compulsive and thrilling debut dealing with the psychological complexities of obsession, lust and violence.

Praise for True Things About Me:

[Davies’] first person narrative of a young women’s obsessive, destructive affair has an unsettling pitch black wit that truly make its voice stand out from the bland MOR murmur of most ‘literary’ fiction.

The Independent

The strength of Davies’s prose and her searing observations of human behaviour lift the otherwise unremitting bleakness. There is an odd, compelling momentum to True Things About Me: it is an ambitious novel that draws one in.

The Guardian Review

… dark, unsettling and utterly compelling, it unfolds with tragic inevitability.
