A young woman leaves London after a violent attack and takes a teaching job at a creative writing program in the north of England, hoping for quiet. Then one of her students hands in a story full of violence against a woman, and she begins to wonder how much of it is fiction. Jo Baker builds a psychological thriller about fear and who gets believed.
It suits readers of literary thrillers with a feminist edge, and those who like stories about writers and their students. The book asks uncomfortable questions about how violence against women is turned into entertainment.
Growth-minded and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
