This is a stimulating and provocative debut just bristling with attitude, We are introduced to four couples who are entwined in each other’s lives, and living with insidious secrets and lies. The first few pages set my antenna quivering, my mind searched for answers, just how do these relationships work, and how has the past affected them? Eight people, eight lives, all spilling onto the page. The writing by Caroline England is so sharp and on point, yet so easy to read, I simply galloped through it, racing to get to the end. As the plot corkscrewed through my mind, my eyebrows raised, my thoughts changed, and the final few pages sent a chill coursing through me. ‘Beneath the Skin’ tests, ensnares, deceives, intrigues and thoroughly entertains, what a fabulous debut this is. ~ Liz Robinson

`Antonia, Antonia. My name is Antonia.' It's been her name for many years. But sometimes, like tonight, she forgets. Antonia has a secret. A secret so dark and so deep that she can barely admit it to herself. Instead, she treats herself to Friday night sessions of self-harm while her husband David is at the pub, and her best friend Sophie is drinking too much wine a few doors down. Nobody close to her knows the truth about what the teenage Antonia saw all those years ago. No-one, that is, except her mother. But Candy is in a care home now, her mind too addled to remember the truth. Antonia is safe. Isn't she? The lies start small. They always do. But when the tightly woven story you've told yourself begins to unravel, the truth threatens to come to the surface. And then what's going to happen?
