About this listen

Would it kill you to smile, darling? Perhaps…

A men-only charity dinner. A clutch of young waitresses.

The jokes are uncomfortable. The hands linger. The collars loosen.

Behind closed doors, the wine flows.

The night is dark. The faces blur. The memories warp.

Behind closed doors, the money flows.

But revenge is sweet and justice is a burning flame.

Behind closed doors, the blood flows…

A fierce and addictive story about lust and power, the love we want versus the love we take, and the tinderbox secrets that hide so well in the heart of families, this is the searing novel from the author of Spilt Milk.

Critic reviews

'Unflinchingly honest and brilliantly told, Bad Manners exposes the darkness and power of patriarchy and its corrosive consequences on a family. Cass and Eve’s story will set you alight with rage. A magnificent achievement, this is truly a story for our times.' Louisa Reid, author of The Poet

'Beashel wields language with precision and power and her writing is an absolute masterclass in using deftly chosen vocabulary for devastating effect. This is a brave and important book, but it is also a brilliant and addictive read.' Emma Robinson, USA Today bestselling author of All My Fault

'Bad Manners is a powerful and timely read that made me simultaneously shake with rage and whoop with solidarity. Every woman should read it.' Katy Brent, author of How to Kill Men and Get Away with It

'Complex and messy and raging in the best of ways, Bad Manners is a nuanced exploration of the deep rooted misogyny that underscores society and the effect it has on women and girls. Beashel writers with power and purpose and beauty – I loved it.' Julia Tuffs

'An exploration of privilege and coercion… And unforgivable betrayal.' Elena Wilkes, author of The Broken Marriage

'The storyline of Bad Manners by Amy Beashel ripples outwards to encompass themes of sex, power, money, manipulation, friendship, parenthood and love. All this, and a plot which is as gripping any thriller.' Emma Robinson

'Bad Manners is a powerful, multi-layered story that I was completely enthralled by. At times heart wrenchingly relatable, it also beautifully highlights the importance of female friendship. Beashel's writing captivated me from the blistering first page right to the highly satisfying conclusion.' Carys Green
