About this listen

'Brilliant and completely unique' SOPHIE MACKINTOSH
'Michelle Steinbeck is the lovechild of Robert Wasler and a witch' CAMILLA GRUDOVA
'An absolute joyride of a novel. Surreal, highly dramatic and a feminist must-read' IRISH TIMES

'I'm sorry, your mother was murdered.'

Fila's mother Magdalena caused chaos every time she appeared in her daughter's life. Fila hasn't seen her in years, not since she disgraced their family by advertising her brothel in the newspaper.

Now, news comes from Italy: Magdalena is dead. It's time for Fila to finally face her family history.

Fila collects her mother's ashes and sets out, urn in tow, to retrace the whirlwind life of the woman last known as Favorita.

Part hallucinatory road trip, part feminist revenge fantasy: Favorita is a wild, furious and mischievous novel from an incendiary new European talent.
