This month MoM members could WIN 1 of 20 copies of The Natural Way of Things – the powerful new novel by Charlotte Wood.

She hears her own thick voice deep inside her ears when she says, ‘I need to know where I am.’

The man stands there, tall and narrow, hand still on the doorknob, surprised. He says, almost in sympathy, ‘Oh, sweetie. You need to know what you are.’

Ten young women wake up imprisoned in the middle of nowhere. What is their crime and who put them there? Guarded by two inept yet vicious armed jailers, the girls all have something in common, but what is it? With echoes of The Handmaid’s Tale and Lord of the Flies, this is a compulsively readable, starkly imaginative and thought-provoking novel.

The Natural Way of Things RRP: $29.99  

Available now where all good books are sold.

  • I believe misogyny is one of the themes of this novel – something most of us have had to deal with at some point. Fictional explorations of potential excesses of misogyny are important. They remind us to be vigilant – so I’d be interested to see Wood’s take on it.
