A PASSIONATE, PAGE-TURNING TALE OF COERCIVE CONTROL AND FEMALE
SOLIDARITY, FOR FANS OF THREE WOMEN AND ACTS OF DESPERATION. 'This
is the book I have always needed, it is F*****G BRILLIANT and
everyone should read it' Nikita Gill 'A beautiful, biting
page-turner' Irish Times I believe every word you say. That was
always my mistake. Bright, promising Emma is entangled in a toxic
romance with her old professor - and she's losing control. Cruel,
charming Tom is idolized by his students and peers - confident he
holds all the cards. In their small Oxford home, he manipulates and
undermines her every thought and act. Soon, he will push her to the
limit and she must decide: to remain quiet and submit, or to take
her revenge. Written in verse and charged with passion and anger,
The Poet is a portrait of a deeply dysfunctional relationship,
exploring coercive control, class and privilege. It is also a
page-turning tale of female solidarity and survival. 'Brisk,
disturbing and very satisfying' Daily Mail
