Story
Irina obsessively takes explicit photographs of the average-looking men she persuades to model for her, scouted from the streets of Newcastle. Placed on sabbatical from her dead-end bar job, she is offered an exhibition at a fashionable London gallery, promising to revive her career in the art world and offering an escape from her rut of drugs, alcohol and extreme cinema. The news triggers a self-destructive tailspin, centred around Irina's relationship with her obsessive best friend and a shy young man from her local supermarket who has attracted her attention....

Connecticut, 1666. An ancient spirit awakens in a dark wood. The wildfolk call him Father, slayer, protector. The colonists call him Slewfoot, demon, devil.

Story
Jo is in a strange new country for university and having a more peculiar time than most. In a house with no walls, shared with a woman who has no boundaries, she finds her strange home coming to life in unimaginable ways. Jo's sensitivity and all her senses become increasingly heightened and fraught, as the lines between bodies and plants, dreaming and wakefulness, blur and mesh.

Story
It was Vera’s idea to buy the Itza. The “world’s most advanced smart speaker!” didn’t interest Thiago, but Vera thought it would be a bit of fun for them amidst all the strange occurrences happening in the condo. It made things worse. The cold spots and scratching in the walls were weird enough, but peculiar packages started showing up at the house - who ordered industrial lye? Then, there was the eerie music at odd hours, Thiago waking up to Itza projecting light shows in an empty room.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Discover the haunting, heartbreaking post-apocalyptic tale of female friendship and intimacy set in a deserted world.
Deep underground, 39 women are kept in isolation in a cage. Aboveground, a world awaits. Has it been abandoned? Devastated by a virus?
Watched over by guards, the women have no memory of how they got there, no notion of time and only vague recollection of their lives before. But, as the burn of electric light merges day into night and numberless years pass, a young girl - the 40th prisoner - sits alone and outcast in the corner.
Soon she will show herself to be the key to the others' escape and survival in the strange world that awaits them aboveground. The woman who will never know men.

Stunning
Genre defying, thought provoking, gripping and melancholy. I loved it. I hope it finds a wider audience.

Fascinating and thought provoking
An unusual read. If you like to read books that leave you with existential questions, this one is for you. More than just a novel, this book leaves the reader ruminating on life, coming of age, womanhood and the nature of aloneness for long after it has been finished.
Haven’t read another book like it. As far as I am concerned this is a must-read, and the performance was great - allowed me to disappear into the book as though I was reading the words off the page myself. Excellent.

SKIP THE INTRO
The 15 min intro spoiled literally every event in the book and there are not that many. It is a great summary but recommend you listen to at the end after you’ve finished the actual book
Book itself is a really interesting contradiction. So minimal but so much happens in the nothing. I liked it but can’t explain why bc there’s nothing. The lack of explanation is a bit frustrating/unsatisfying but I think that is the point - the whole book is about wanting and what keeps you going when there’s nothing. You live a version of what the narrator experiences but in 6 hrs not 60 years..

Made me want to die
Not only is this so depressing, but it is so dull, one note and repetitive. If you have any kind of mental illness please don’t listen it will put you in a crisis. Very painful read.
