Description
THE LIFE-AFFIRMING NOVEL ABOUT REAL-LIFE RELIGIOUS FANATICISM AND THE COURAGE OF THREE WOMEN WHO CONFRONT IT, FROM AUTHOR OF BBC2 BETWEEN THE COVERS PICK, ANOTHER LIFE 'So movingly told' Good Housekeeping 'A touching novel about female friendship and finding strength when you need it most' Grazia ____________ HOW DO YOU LEAVE A CULT? Step into a world that lies behind the ordinary front doors of Britain. A place of loyal wives, obedient children, of faithful (and occasionally faith less ) husbands. Meet Isobel, Jen and Zelda. They know how to please, and they know their place in this world is precarious. But what happens when they can longer be the person others want them to be - when they stop lying to themselves? Will each woman stay quiet and keep pleasing? Or will they stand up and fight? ____________ Praise for Jodie Chapman: 'Poignant, beautifully written and underpinned with a quiet rage' Julie Owen Moylan 'Beautifully written...I couldn't put it down' Emma Gannon 'An astounding debut about sibling grief, religion and sliding doors love' Pandora Skyes 'Deep, rich, thoughtful' Gillian Mcallister 'With echoes of David Nicholls' One Day and Sally Rooney's novels, it perfectly captures the agony of falling in love and the razor-sharp reality of pain and loss' Daily Mail 'Brilliant. A powerful eye-opening read that will spark discussion - a perfect book-club pick' Prima
