HOW MUCH IS YOUR SUFFERING WORTH?

An unmissable, thought-provoking new thriller - this book will blow your mind. Perfect for fans of VOX, The Power and The School for Good Mothers.


'Timely, innovative and fantastically compelling.' PANDORA SYKES


Why should you suffer when she can do it for you?
A revolutionary company can free you from your unwanted emotions.

Jealousy, grief, despair. If you can afford to, you need never feel them again.

In your place is a Carrier – a woman who is paid to process your pain.

In a world full of suffering, there is no shortage of demand.

But this company has secrets. The true cost of your freedom is a Carrier’s life.

Would you let her pay the price?
