Discover the debut book from this year’s London Literature Festival co-curator Rebecca Lucy Taylor – aka Self Esteem – in conversation with Dolly Alderton.

In her extraordinary debut, with her trademark lyricism and razor-sharp wit, Mercury Prize-nominated musician and artist Rebecca Lucy Taylor takes us on a journey through womanhood – whatever the hell that means.

Through the notes, lyrics and biting observational prose for which Taylor has become lauded, A Complicated Woman offers itself up as a subversive anti-Bible for any woman who has ever cracked under the weight of impossible expectation; who has done unto others the damage that has been wrought upon her; and who has discovered deep within herself a resilience that surprised her.

It’s a cathartic scream of a book that gets to the heart of being a woman in the world today, and cements Taylor as one of the most exciting voices of her generation.
