Description
Deep underground, thirty-nine women are kept in isolation in a cage. Above ground, a world awaits. The women have no memory of how they got there, no notion of time, and only vague recollection of their lives before. As the years pass, a young girl - the fortieth prisoner - sits alone, an outcast in the corner. She will soon show herself to be the key to the others' escape and survival in the strange world that awaits them. In this haunting, heart-breaking post-apocalyptic tale, a young girl's journey becomes the catalyst for the others' freedom. As she navigates the unknown, she must confront the secrets of her own past and the mysterious forces that hold them captive. With a new introduction by Sophie Mackintosh, Booker Prize-longlisted author of The Water Cure, this is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that explores the bonds of sisterhood and the power of survival.
