About this listen
TRENT DALTON
Martha Mullins is a misfit. Her mother is glamorous, aloof and judgemental. Her father, mostly absent. If only she had brothers and sisters with whom she might share her feelings, her confusion . Academic and shy, Martha finds herself fascinated by the underworld, a place she learns about in Roman mythology classes at school. To Martha, the underworld and its divine inhabitants provide a place of refuge, escape, imagination and desire.
But Martha also finds joy in friendship. Connection. Intimacy. It's Martha's band of friends who show her the value in spontaneity, fun, laughter.
Until things go wrong.
How will Martha find her way in the world where she cannot be herself? Will she ever find a home for the love she feels? The call of the underworld is difficult to resist.
The Underworld is a wondrous novel from an author who wields her considerable powers with assuredness and grace. Funny, brave, insightful and clever, Martha will break your heart - then mend it - many times over.

Martha, the main character, deals with all the complex and confusing emotions as she navigates through her life at home, at boarding school (brought back memories), through University and into adulthood. Sofie tackles so many issues including friendships, rejection, homosexuality, consent and all the issues young adults deal with that shape their lives.
Highly recommend.
