HOW MUCH IS YOUR SUFFERING WORTH?

An unmissable, thought-provoking new thriller - this book will blow your mind. Perfect for fans of VOX, The Power and The School for Good Mothers.

Why should you suffer when she can do it for you?

A revolutionary company can free you from your unwanted emotions.


Jealousy, grief, despair. If you can afford to, you need never feel them again.


In your place is a Carrier – a woman who is paid to process your pain.


In a world full of suffering, there is no shortage of demand.


But this company has secrets. The true cost of your freedom is a Carrier’s life.


Would you let her pay the price?

'Timely, innovative and fantastically compelling.' PANDORA SYKES
