About this listen

The eagerly anticipated new novel from the worldwide number one best-selling author behind the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning HBO series Big Little Lies.

Could 10 days at a health resort really change you forever? Nine perfect strangers are about to find out....

The 10-day retreat at boutique health-and-wellness resort Tranquillum House promises healing and transformation. Nine stressed city dwellers are keen to drop their literal and mental baggage and absorb the blissful meditative ambiance while enjoying their hot stone massages. They are all on a path to a better way of living. Or at least a better waistline....

Watching over them is the resort's director, a woman on a mission to reinvigorate these tired bodies and minds. But to what lengths will she go to achieve her goal?

These nine perfect strangers have no idea what's about to hit them.

I see there are mixed reviews for this book. I enjoyed it. The characters are engaging, the story is very different and unpredictable and it’s well written.

Really enjoyed it!

The book started off with an interesting premise, but then just got a bit silly

Confusing

I found Caroline Lee's narration spot on, was puzzled to read reviews later and found some people describing it as slow... For me it was the pace of the overall story that was slow and, if I'm honest at times tedious. I love Moriarty but I found this story more frustrating and repetitive than I did intriguing. Although there are nine strangers some definitely get more air time than others and I think that they seemed more like padding at times. I liked the initial idea but it then felt a bit like a stage play with only three backdrops and the gaggle of characters were expected to provide all the story - usually I think spending time with characters is her strong suit - but for me each person's story was a bit 'more of the same'

Not my favourite Moriarty but enjoyable

I got lost in this. I needed a retreat myself! lovely to follow these people on one and feel like I was detoxing. The characters were really interesting and some felt very tangible and I grew to care about most of them. The story was waay more crazy than I was expecting. Wonderful!

Loved this Story!

I had to review this as the performance was achingly boring. She speaks very slowly and as if she recently learned to read. I found that by speeding the playback to 150% the performance became bearable. Story is fine - nothing to report. If you are a big fan of LM then get this, just remember to speed it up.

Performance!
