Sunday Times-bestselling author Sarah Vaughan has offered a quote for Jane Shemilt‘s upcoming Little Friends.

“A deeply unsettling exploration of narcissistic parenting that left me wanting to shake some characters, Little Friends dares to venture into areas most of us would prefer not to think about – and then pushes us further still. Compelling and twisted, I gulped it down – appalled by the parents’ myopia and self-absorption and anxious on behalf of the children.”

Little Friends will be published in the UK by Michael Joseph on 20th February 2020. It will be published in the US as The Playground by William Morrow.
