About this listen

The year is 2067. The city of Rosewater is chaotic, vibrant and full of life - some of it extraterrestrial.

The charismatic mayor, Jack Jacques, has declared Rosewater a free state, independent to Nigeria. But the city's alien dome is dying. Government forces await its demise, ready to destroy Rosewater's independence before it has even begun.

And in the city's quiet suburbs, a woman wakes with no memory of who she is - with memories belonging to something much older and much more alien.

Absolutely brilliant. Even more thrilling than the first book. Can't wait for the next one.

It just gets better!

This middle book in a a trilogy avoids the memes and cliches of second book syndrome and in my opinion (I’m just a book lover not a critic) this surpasses the first, the different perspectives of characters only mentioned before really made it feel like a whole new book but with the familiar feel that Kaaro had in Rosewater, once again the narration is outstanding, I really lost myself in the world of wormwood listening to this, can’t wait for Redemption and please keep the same narrator

Even better than Rosewater!

A book filled with brilliant observations on African culture and history crossed with the burden of being the frontline between Earth an benign alien invasion. Hilarious, moving and keenly observed. Highly recommended

A brilliant middle chapter book equal to the first

I really love the use of different characters for each chapter. Narration was excellent, added humour and intensity to the experience

Great story telling

this takes the Rosewater universe and just blows the whole thing wide open, completely spellbinding, I couldn't believe it was finished already 😳

Ohhhh now we are talking
