About this audiobook
'Electrifying' Christina Dalcher, Sunday Times Bestselling author of VOX
'A cleverly woven tale' The Times
*WINNER OF THE EAST ANGLIAN BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION 2020*
Imagine a world where...
Everything you ate was monitored by the government.
Every step you took was counted.
Your children were weighed every day at school.
Neighbours reported on neighbours and no one was safe from judgement.
Sugar was illegal, and baking was a crime.
Imagine if that world was here... What would you do?
Toe the line or fight for your freedom...
'A captivating and thought-provoking debut' Heidi Swain
NetGalley reviewers are falling in love with The Choice:
'This story is amazing, well crafted, and truly makes you think'
'Gripping and original. A timely dystopian, feminist novel'
'A cleverly crafted, and chillingly current novel'

About the author
Claire Wade is the winner of the Good Housekeeping Novel Competition 2018. She was bed bound for six years with severe ME, trapped in a body that wouldn't do what she wanted; her only escape was through her imagination. She now writes about women who want to break free from the constraints of their lives, a subject she's deeply familiar with.
Her favourite things are books, baking and the WI. She's the founding president of a modern WI (Women's Institute) and runs a baking club for other cake lovers. You'll find her in her writing room, nicknamed Narnia because it's also home to a wardrobe and is the place where she escapes to other worlds. She's happiest if she's got a slice of chocolate cake, a cup of tea and a good book.
