About this audiobook
‘Exciting, contemporary, heartfelt and clever’ Greg Mosse
‘Riveting, real and raw . . . a powerful journey’ Balvinder Sopal
‘Wisely and wittily leaps into the heart of friendships’ Sabrina Mahfouz
‘Dares to subject modern feminism to a tough and timely cross-examination’ T.J. Emerson
The hen party from hell descends into darkness, perfect for fans of Nikki May, Dawn O’Porter and Zakiya Dalila Harris
Some friends have your back.
Some friends stab you in the back.
Ayesha is just about finding her feet on the London stand-up scene, but when her response to a sexist heckler goes viral, she finds herself drawn into an exclusive group of activists: a sacred circle of change makers, each woman with a specific gift to contribute to the cause.
The circle draws in her friend Yaz too and they are both invited to an intimate hen do, except it’s not a hen do – it's a Goddess Retreat. While Ayesha, longing to find her tribe, tries desperately to fit herself into a shape that the women will accept, Yaz treats the entire ‘itinerary’ with open disdain. But the Goddess Retreat is no laughing matter. As the weekend descends into chaos, they’ll need to stick together if they want to get out alive.
Goddesses is a bitingly brilliant novel that explores the power dynamics of sisterhood and activism, the dark side of white feminism and the importance of making your voice heard.
