Numerous story lines run through this intriguing and utterly gripping novel and coalesce towards the end – love, betrayal, political corruption, misogyny, friendship, a woman’s journey of discovery. Driving them along is a mystery which threatens everyone but only Jo Aldous is aware of it – the animals have had enough. As wife of the next prime minister, she threatens the party so is branded insane and crushed. With new-found strength, she refuses to be defeated until she finds the driving force behind her discovery.
