 A teenager negotiates her way through the care system in this accessible yet profound debut...Teenage heroines are ten a penny, but every now and again one will saunter up, offer you a fag, and hit you with her story right between the eyes...But although Careless is a coming of age story written in a very accessible style, it is suffused with an adult understanding of relationship dynamics and, perhaps most viscerally, the struggles young women can face to take ownership of their own bodies...Capes is a care leaver herself and has a PhD in care narratives in contemporary fiction, which was supervised by Bernardine Evaristo. The Booker-prize winner’s mentorship has no doubt been beneficial ....I’m unashamed to say that this novel made me weep and, despite not containing an ounce of didacticism, it offers profound insight into the impact of conditional love on a “looked-after” child.....Capes is a rare new talent, and she has written something very special here: a novel that transforms, with the lightest of touches.
