Happy publication day to Emma Smith-Barton and her debut novel, The Million Pieces of Neena Gill.

Emma, (writing as Amna Khoker) who was shortlisted for the 2016 Bristol Short Story Prize for her story Without Wings, has been receiving great acclaim for the book – “Powerful, relatable and uplifting” says Emily Barr, author of The One Memory of Flora Banks, and Abigail Tartellin, author of the novels, Golden Boy and Dead Girls, calls it “authentic, compelling & touching”.

We wish Emma huge success with the book and hope it is the first of many.
