Ingrid Persaud
About this listen
FROM THE WINNER OF THE INDIE BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION 2021
'With Ingrid Persaud's, assured, wizened and brilliant hand at the pen, these women become vitally, thrillingly, and unforgettably alive.' MARLON JAMES
'A voice that has a vibrancy of its own.' RACHEL JOYCE
'A talented and engaging storyteller.' Sunday Times
'Persaud has a knack for finding the sublime in the ordinary.' SARA COLLINS, Guardian
From the award-winning author of Love After Love, comes an epic of wonder, danger and risk.
Popo is brilliant, vulnerable and stuck - but despite those who want to own her, she is determined to free herself from the traps of her past, whatever the cost. Mana Lala is equally as focussed on her little boy who connects her to the man she loves, and she will do anything to keep them both close. For Doris, life is an opportunity she will grab with all her might - hers is another iron will constrained by the truths of being a woman in 1930s Trinidad. And then there is Rosie, pouring her soul into her business, her lover Etty and her store.
Four brave and brilliant women, connected and controlled by one man, and a world that puts all power to his elbow. This is their story, and for some of them, it is all that is left.

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,671
Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with my best friend’s little sister before our lives went in different directions. Now, I’m the grumpy to Juliet’s sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover. And find the house has only one bed. Located under a mirrored ceiling.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,280
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

One of my 2024 Top 10
Wonderfully read, and an interesting story with complex characters all connected to one person, who perhaps has the least interesting story of the group.
