About this listen

For years, Isobel Latimer has composed serious novels for serious people, but to dwindling acclaim and ever-more dwindling gain. Now her husband is ill and she must carry their financial burden alone, and in secret.

But if the public don’t want careful moral fables any longer, why not provide an outrageous tale of sex and satanism, and an author to match? The incomparable, uncontrollable Zelda de Vere is born.

What began with the best of intentions snowballs into a disorienting blur of passion, gender-bending, loss of innocence, to betrayal and beyond. Isobel Latimer might feel she’s on the brink of losing everything, but what would Zelda do?

Critic reviews

'Insidiously gripping.' (The Independent)
'This brilliant psychological chiller ... is utterly, nail-nibblingly plausible. You will relish its explosive climax and be gripped through to its final, superb, double-twist finish.' (Daily Mail)

You could see it coming a mile away!

I felt like yelling out to the main character, DON’T let this happen. I was really hoping for a revenge story, that could have been interesting. I still liked the ending. A very satisfying book all around.

the narration was seamless, the story suspensefully captivating

I've always loved the lipa Gregory's work since the very first time I picked up one of her books. different times different subject matter and yet women's lives just the same, they're sacrifices for causes they feel dear to them. then the decisions that they make and how they choose to live. the shocking and surprising and yet completely, yes, completely justified ends.

brilliantly written, perfectly paired with transcendent narration. I had completely forgotten it was a book and that I wasn't just listening in on a life that was unfolding in the mind's eye. I missed meals and sleep and I couldn't get enough of this masterpiece of a novel with the insight of a scholar.

On the edge of my seat

This book kept me interested the entire time. I couldn’t wait to get back to it to see what happened next. And it stressed me out with worry about how things would turn out. Some parts I thought I knew what would happen, that it was predictable, but it wasn’t!! Loved it!!

So hard to review. I did not finish

Excellent narration! Great characters and writing.
I had read that there was some gender confusion in the book but as I am far from homophonic I figured it would be fine.
On that note I still have 10hrs left but I’m not going to continue on. It’s just to un relatable for me. The crossdressing gender fluidity is just above my pay grade apparently. So if you are into that it’s a lovely book, if not I highly suggest you skip.
