Therapy was meant to solve her problems, not make them worse...


Twenty-year-old Dani is desperate to overcome her demons, leave her dead-end job and return to her hard-won place at university. Using her limited earnings, she decides to start seeing a psychotherapist.

Richard Goode is educated, sophisticated and worldly-everything Dani aspires to be. As he intuitively unpicks her self-loathing, Dani assumes the fantasies she's developing about him live only in her head. That is, until things take a shocking turn...

Descending into a maelstrom of twisted desire, manipulation and mistrust, the power struggle between Dani and Richard escalates until she's forced to make a decision she never would have anticipated.

Fifty Minutes is a propulsive and bold debut that marks Carla Jenkins as a vital new voice in fiction.

During the past three years, Carla's writing has been placed in several national and international competitions. She is currently studying for a PhD in Creative Writing at the University of Exeter.
