Four women spark a revolution on a Caribbean island – the exhilarating new novel from the Costa-winning author of The Mermaid of Black Conch.


‘If The White Lotus were a modern feminist thriller, this would be it’ LALINE PAULL
‘Brilliant. I loved it’ SARAH WINMAN

Early one morning, at the close of St Colibri’s carnival, a young female steel-pan player is found dead beneath a cannonball tree. It is a discovery that will transform the lives of everyone on this Caribbean island.

As the days pass, the shocking event draws together new allies: Sharleen, Tara, Gigi and Daisy. In a community in which violence against women is overlooked time after time, the group find themselves compelled to speak out – and to act.

But they could never have foreseen the consequences of their courage…
