The Herd - the unputdownable must-read Richard & Judy book club pick of 2022 (Paperback)

'It is hard to imagine a more timely novel. A fascinating exploration of all sides of a particularly knotty, politicized issue.' Jodi Picoult 'Will have book clubs across the country in hot debate! Brilliant.' Clare Mackintosh **** You should never judge how someone chooses to raise their child. Elizabeth and Bryony are polar opposites but their unexpected friendship has always worked. They're the best of friends, and godmothers to each other's daughters - because they trust that the safety of their children is both of their top priority. But what if their choice could harm your own child? Little do they know that they differ radically over one very important issue. And when Bryony, afraid of being judged, tells what is supposed to be a harmless white lie before a child's birthday party, the consequences are more catastrophic than either of them could ever have imagined . . . **** 'Really beautifully written, compassionately told and incredibly thought provoking. A truly immersive telling of both sides of a story' Susan Lewis 'Insightful, compassionate and nuanced. The Herd is so good.' Louise O'Neill 'A genuine rollercoaster that asks big moral questions with beautifully drawn characters.' Sharon Horgan, co-creator of CATASTROPHE Here's what early readers are saying about The Herd: 'A timely and dramatic novel showing both sides of an ongoing debate. Loved this read!' ***** 'Such a genuine tale with such high stakes emotion and sensitivity' ***** 'A fantastic, thought-provoking and gripping book which would make a cracking book club read' ***** 'A complex, layered, wholly character-driven look at a complicated and controversial subject' *****
