About this listen
Antonia and Bea are sisters, and doting mothers to their sons. But that is where their similarities end.
Antonia had her son tested to make sure he didn’t possess the "violent" M gene.
Bea refuses to let her son take the test. She believes his life should not be determined by a positive or negative result.
These women will go to any length to protect their sons.
But one of them is hiding a monster.
And there will be fatal consequences for everybody....
Critic Reviews
Praise for One of the Boys
“Nature, nurture, and parenting styles go to war in Jayne Cowie’s tense thriller with a twist…the kind of book that has something to say, and says it well.”
—Christina Dalcher, author of Vox
“This is a dark and at times deeply disturbing mind-bending thriller that, like The Power, questions how much of our behavior and choices are learned, genetic, or manipulated into being by society.”
—Buzzfeed
“Weaving controversial takes such as men’s rights with the impact of eugenics on society and the lengths a mother will go to protect her child, this is a twisty page-turner..."
—Booklist
