Talulah Riley Instagram – What a fun idea! I believe in book-fairies! 🖤💗 Repost from @jojoandthefloof • The Book Fairies have hidden a proof copy of ‘The Quickening’ by Talulah Riley next to a sculpture called ‘Cry for Justice – the Scream’, created by the artist Fenwick Lawson. Will you be lucky enough to spot this copy and take it home with you today? About the book: Years ago, Dana Mayer had a vision of a better world: one where women are in charge. The novel imagines the re-building of society after a lot of unrest (pandemic and nuclear war) with a group of women who step up to lead the new society. Dana’s manifesto, The Quickening, has established the rules for a new order, designed to elevate and protect women. A genteel and peaceful society that prioritises nature, good manners and aesthetics. Of course, in order for women to maintain control, the freedoms of men have been necessarily limited. Arthur Alden loves Dana Mayer but hates the world she has created. But can he find a way to resist, without losing everything? And with Dana intent on making men pay reparations for their past crimes, can Arthur be allowed to live without punishment? #hodderbookfairies #hodderbooks #ibelieveinbookfairies #proofbook #TheQuickening #TalulahRiley #cryforjusticethescream #durhamuniversity
