About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

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

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 faithless) 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?

Critic reviews

What an utterly fantastic book. The characters were so beautifully drawn that I was completely absorbed by them & their unfolding stories. The narrator did them justice.
Absolutely wonderful - I didn’t want to get to the end but I couldn’t stop listening.

I didn’t want it to end !

This is an honest and fair view of this religion. Hopefully it opens up people's eyes to the systemic abuse within and what fundamental changes need to happen. It also sheds light on what trauma members and especially ex members experience almost daily.

Brilliant

I didn’t know this book was about Jehovah Witnesses and I was absolutely fascinated by the three women and how they navigate their faith and disfellowship.

. I think the usual idea of that cult is complete distain and ridicule but the author really unravelled what and why they believe as they do. I worked with a lovely girl years ago and she was bright and intelligent and if we ever did talk about her faith then her answers where almost robotic and panicky like she knew I knew she didn’t really believe all of it. Another person I worked with from that faith was so slimy, he talked to my chest rather than my face and he was an elder. Makes you wonder.

There are good and bad people in all religions, countries, communities etc but I think novels like this are so important as they educate us in something we have preconceptions about or don’t understand.

Beautifully written, complicated characters and very moving.

What a revelation!
