<p><b><i>Nightshift</i> is a story of obsession set in London’s liminal world of nightshift workers.</b><br><br>When twenty-three-year-old Meggie meets distant and enigmatic Sabine, she recognizes in her the person she would like to be. Giving up her daytime existence, her reliable boyfriend, and the trappings of a normal life in favour of working the same nightshifts as Sabine could be the perfect escape for Meggie. She finds a liberating sense of freedom in indulging her growing preoccupation with Sabine and plunges herself into another existence, gradually immersing herself in the transient and uncertain world of the nightshift worker. <br><br>Dark, sexy, frightening, <i>Nightshift </i>explores ambivalent female friendship, sexual attraction and lives that defy easy categorization. London’s stark urban reality is rendered other-worldly and strange as Meggie’s sleep deprivation, drinking and fixation with Sabine gain a momentum all of their own. Can Meggie really lose herself in her trying to become someone else? <br><br>A novel of obsession and desire, Kiare Ladner’s <i>Nightshift</i> is a beautiful and moving debut which asks profound questions about who we are and if we can truly escape ourselves.</p>
