'Seldom is a book as funny, important and timely … I was laughing out loud at the same time as my blood was running cold' JOHN CLEESE ‘Viciously funny… an exhilarating satire’ THE TIMES ‘Never shy of getting stuck in, Shriver now sets her satirical sights on groupthink and the policing of thought' Financial Times, Book of 2024 'Shriver is at the top of her game with this scary-smart and scathing satire' Booklist Praise for Lionel Shriver: ‘Shriver’s novels are wonderful… fun, smart and… unlike anything else you’ll read’ Financial Times ‘Hilarious… Fiery phrases spit and crackle’ Sunday Times ‘Wickedly witty’ Spectator ‘An independent mind and a sense of humour are dangerous things to possess.
