Books containing stories by Rebecca Wait
Rebecca Wait recommends
Pity Party (2024)
Daisy Buchanan
"Hilarious, moving and unexpected, PITY PARTY unfolded quite differently to how I was expecting. A lovely funny book."
How to Be Somebody Else (2024)
Miranda Pountney
"So sharp and well observed. I loved the wry, understated humour, and how perceptive the book is about female desire. In its exploration of a woman trying to make sense of herself it is moving without being sentimental, and clever without seeming to try too hard."
This Family (2023)
Kate Sawyer
"Absorbing and unexpected. It took some turns that I really didn't see coming, but which nonetheless felt plausible and satisfying."
