Kids Run the Show: The new novel from the author of No and Me
Social commentary meets thriller in Delphine de Vigans smart novel, which explores the frightening phenomenon of the 'kidfluencer'
The Telegraph (5 stars)
The first time that Mélanie met Clara, Mélanie was stunned by Claras sense of authority, and Clara was struck by Mélanies pink, glittery nails, which shimmered in the dark. She looks like a child, thought the first. She looks like a doll, pondered the second.
These two women, both of the same generation and exposed to the same media throughout their lives, could not be more different in adulthood. Mélanie is a social media superstar, broadcasting her children's daily lives on a family YouTube channel. Clara is a young police officer, assigned to the case after Mélanies daughter Kimmy is abducted.
Traversing the Big Brother generation, the social media influencer generation, and right up to the 2030s, Delphine de Vigan offers a bone-chilling exposé of a world where everything is broadcasted and profited from, even family happiness.
