Women’s battles become page-turners as #MeToo inspires novelists | Books | The Guardian

It is not just new authors who are confronting these dark and often difficult stories. Crime queen Denise Mina's Conviction contains a subplot involving a high-profile rape case; Erin Kelly's Stone Mothers considers how society judges women who fail to conform; Mel McGrath's The Guilty Party examines the fallout after a group of friends witness a possible attack; and Abi Maxwell's haunting second novel The Den examines youth, sex and power in a tight-knit community. All are out later this year.
