Description

A powerful debut about first love and second chances from a stunning new voice in Australian fiction

Alex and Leah meet at medical school and form an immediate and intense connection. Over the course of four years as they are caught in the push–pull of love and betrayal, longing and reunion, neither can quite give up the other, even as they question whether they are good for each other.

Twenty years later, when Alex and Leah encounter each other again, will they make the right choice?

New Skin evokes a coming of age in the 1990s, and charts the course of first love and its power to shape who we become. Spare and compelling, this powerful debut introduces a dazzling new voice in Australian fiction.

Featured Reviews

New Skin by Miranda Nation is described as a love story. But there’s no silly fluff or cringe in this (I think) brilliant book.

This is my kinda love story - it’s dark, ambiguous, tense and enthralling. Leah and Alex are flawed, troubled, but also captivating and charismatic. Nation’s writing is accessible but not simple or average, I felt really engaged and the book was well paced throughout. I will definitely be picking up more of her books in the future! this is a 4.5 star book for me.

Thanks NetGalley for the eArc of this book!
