Moth Books

Moth Books was founded by half-German writer Monique Charlesworth in 2023 to publish fiction and non-fiction, to cross borders and to connect with Europe. The emphasis is on strong women’s voices.

The imprint’s first book is Monique’s candid and witty memoir Mother Country: a story of love and lies, which has been shortlisted for the TLS Ackerley 2024 prize for memoir and autobiography. Moth Books also republished Monique’s acclaimed novel, The Children’s War, with a new ending.

In 2025 Moth Books will publish two magnificent novels of family and conflict in the heart of Europe: Blurred by Iris Wolff and Worlds Apart by Julia Franck. Moth will also publish the outstanding new novel Clearings by Iris Wolff, a best-seller in Germany.
