You need to know what you are.' \n \n Two women awaken from a drugged sleep to find themselves imprisoned in a brokendown \n property in the middle of a desert. \n \n Strangers to each other, they have no idea where they are or how they came to be there \n with eight other girls, their heads shaved, guarded by two inept yet vicious jailers. \n \n Doing hard labour under a sweltering sun, the prisoners soon learn what links them: in \n each girl's past is a sexual scandal with a powerful man. \n \n They pray for rescue but as the hours turn into days and the days into weeks and months, \n it becomes clear only the girls can rescue themselves. \n \n Winner, 2016 Stella Prize \n Winner, 2016 Indie Book of the Year Award \n Winner, Fiction Book of the Year, 2016 Indie Book Award \n Winner, 2016 Prime Minister's Literary Award for Fiction \n Winner, Reader's Choice, 2016 ABIA Literary Fiction Book of the Year \n Shortlisted, 2016 Miles Franklin Literary Award \n Shortlisted, 2016 ABA Nielsen BookData Booksellers Choice Award \n Longlisted, 2017 International Dublin Literary Award \n
