All the Women She Knows: Stories of Growth, Change and Sisterhood

£9.99

‘A profound exploration of the female experience, where growth and self-discovery intersect with the complexities of relationships . . . Don’t miss out on the opportunity to embark on this transformative journey with Tutku Barbaros.’ DARLING ZINE

Eight women are at a crossroads. 

Ash is about to realise an old friend who keeps her waiting might not be worth her endless patience. 

When Ruby moves back in with her mum, chaos gives way to clarity.

Dia is bending under the weight of always, always having to be ‘strong’.

When her body demands she slows down, Jade discovers she can’t outrun herself.

And Rey, after suffering great loss, learns that to move forward, she has to return home – and find out what she really wants.

Through eleven triumphant and relatable short stories, Tutku Barbaros explores the magic that comes from truly knowing ourselves. These are women who are discovering their own paths, in their own ways – and the growing pains and difficult decisions that come with deciding to choose themselves.

PRAISE FOR ALL THE WOMEN SHE KNOWS:

‘This collection of stories – so intertwined thematically yet so individualistic in style and form – are the epitome of the female experience.’ THE MUSINGS OF MIA

Such a soul affirming, gorgeous collection of short stories. The wisdom, sensitivity, and truth in these women – I laughed, cried, and want to meet up with them all and dance until 4am.’ GOODREADS REVIEWER

‘I’ve not read a book in a while that has felt so relevant and relatable and I really could not recommend more highly. Tutku writes about the significance of the small moments that make the possibility of every day monumental.’ GOODREADS REVIEWER
