Praise
“Disquieting and gorgeous, The Last Sane Woman plucks images from the world with the claustrophobic pleasure of picking a scab. It reaches deep into the negative spaces of failure and precarity, and from these resources assembles something caustic, elegant, elusive and foreboding. It’s also funny, with an offbeat, sly lightness that comes from knowing exactly how high the odds are stacked against you. I was hooked by the conversation between Regel’s protagonists, looping across generations to give voice to the pains of making and the shameful pleasures of destruction.”
—Daisy LaFarge, author of Life without Air and Paul
“The Last Sane Woman is a brilliant, slyly funny, and acutely observed meditation on the process both of the making of objects and of one’s own life. Regel’s prose is gorgeous and deftly rendered on every page.”
—Sophie Mackintosh, author of The Water Cure
“In Regel’s alluring debut novel a London art school graduate takes a job at a feminist archive and stumbles on a mystery buried in the collection … a distinctive story of female friendship.”
—Publishers Weekly
