Description
Longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction 2025 and selected as a Read with Jenna Book Club Pick for March 2025, this novel follows Sara, who is travelling home from a work conference when agents from the Risk Assessment Administration suddenly pull her aside at the airport. Their algorithm has determined that she poses an immediate threat to her husband, so she must be kept under observation at a retention centre for twenty-one days. The evidence comes from data collected from her dreams. Once at the centre, Sara discovers that every minor deviation from its strict and constantly changing rules, from loitering in a hallway to having a non-compliant hairstyle, extends her stay. Desperate to return to her family, she must choose whether to follow the rules or risk taking matters into her own hands.
