About this listen
Camille lives in the country.
She's forgotten her phone.
She's taking the train to work.
She's got period pain.
She can't escape herself ... or her toxic boss, Holly. And it's Valentine's Day.
The Knowing is a day in the life of a woman who goes to work as usual while dreaming of more.
©2025 Madeleine Ryan (P)2025 Bolinda PublishingCritic Reviews
'The Knowing is a pacy novel. Ryan has great control over the rhythm and momentum of the short chapters through which it progresses, which makes the ever-increasing pressure on Camille all the more palpable. It is deliciously funny – mostly because of Camille's sharp, wry wit, which is always tempered by her slight awkwardness – and deeply empathetic. A distinctive, assured work.' (Fiona Wright, The Saturday Paper)
'Ryan's prose zips along at a giddy pace – it's whip-smart, original, full of wit and glass-sharp observations, and Camille is hilarious, sparkly company. The Knowing is a timely, absorbing, fun and acutely observed study of human nature.' (Julia Kelly, The Irish Times)
'Soul medicine for the smartphone weary. Modern-day fears and eternal longings are fashioned into an astonishing, one-of-a-kind literary bouquet. Timely. Unflinching. Life-affirming. Brilliant.' (Matthew Quick, New York Times bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook and We Are the Light)
'The vignette-style chapters address timely topics such as capitalism, feminism, burnout, addiction, work culture, relationships and women's bodily autonomy ... offering a thought-provoking exploration of self-discovery and the complexities of modern life.' (Kate Dunphy, Books+Publishing)
