Good Girls by Amanda Brookfield (1979, English) has been shortlisted in the fiction category of this year’s People’s Book Prize, a literary competition aimed at finding, supporting and promoting new and undiscovered works, decided exclusively by the public.

Good Girls tells the story of the Keating sisters through a childhood fraught with secrets, adolescent rivalries, and on into adulthood with all its complexities and misunderstandings. Until a terrible truth brings the sisters crashing together and finally Eleanor begins to uncover just how good Kat really was…

In 2018 Amanda re-joined College as our first ever Visitor in the Creative Arts; during her tenure she helped launch and run the “Univ’s Next Novelist” competition, which was won by Memoona Ahmed (2018, Experimental Psychology).
