Emma Forrest's Father Figure sketches a larger-than-life portrait of a smart, impulsive young woman as she embarks on an ill-advised affair with a school friend's father. Meanwhile, in Slags, Emma Jane Unsworth's fictional sisters take a whisky-fuelled roadtrip, trying to unpick the missteps of their teenage years. Join the authors of these gutsy, vivacious novels for a lively discussion with Nyla Ahmad on the fearless nature of obsession and the bruising reality of teenage infatuation.
