About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2024.
A Highly Anticipated Novel of 2023 in The Times, i-D, Esquire and the Guardian.
When we look beyond the headlines, everyone has a story to tell
It's 1990 in London and Tom Hargreaves has it all: a burgeoning career as a reporter, fierce ambition and a brisk disregard for the "peasants" - ordinary people, his readers, easy tabloid fodder. His star looks set to rise when he stumbles across a scoop: a dead child on a London estate, grieving parents loved across the neighbourhood, and the finger of suspicion pointing at one reclusive family of Irish immigrants and "bad apples": the Greens.
At their heart sits Carmel: beautiful, otherworldly, broken, and once destined for a future beyond her circumstances until life - and love - got in her way. Crushed by failure and surrounded by disappointment, there's nowhere for her to go and no chance of escape. Now, with the police closing in on a suspect and the tabloids hunting their monster, she must confront the secrets and silences that have trapped her family for so many generations.

Incredible!
The perfect read for anyone who’s favourite genre is the horror of everyday life. Had to binge it over two days cuz it was so immersive. Thought the narrator was fantastic. Dying to read the book now after listening.
