About this audiobook

If you want to know what it feels like to lose your moorings and discover that the body knows things the mind has forgotten, if you're willing to get lost and trust you'll find your way out changed, then this is for you. The novel asks you to read the way Vivienne moves by feel, by instinct, by returning to what's familiar when new pathways close. It asks you to trust repetition as meaning-making device, to understand that some truths need stating multiple times in different contexts before they reveal their full weight.

About the author

Adrian Raistrick

Blooming Mayhem: A Yorkshire Revolution in Sequins and Scandal. Raistrick weaponizes British comedy, creating stories that read like Downton Abbey colliding with Love Island. Beatrice and Constance are Harrogate socialites who've discovered that approaching sixty means the statute of limitations on good behavior has expired. These aren't typical "women of a certain age"—they're weapons-grade divas who'll burn establishments down in designer heels. Raistrick writes with surgical precision, delivering dialogue that crackles with authentic venom.View all by Adrian Raistrick
