We are thrilled to extend our congratulations to Jodie Chapman whose stunning novel Oh, Sister is published today in the UK by Michael Joseph, Penguin Random House.
Meet Isobel, Jen and Zelda. Three women whose bodies and minds are not their own.
They belong to the Church. Life and death decisions are taken by others on their behalf. Who they might marry. Whether they start a family.
Isobel and Jen know nothing of the world. But when Isobel’s husband leaves her and Jen challenges those in charge, the Church turns its back on them. Zelda – never one for doing what is expected – dares to find hope on the outside.
Meet Isobel, Jen and Zelda.Three women desperate to find a life to call their own . . .
Jodie’s debut Another Life was chosen as a BBC2 Between the Covers Pick, and the praise is already rolling in for Oh, Sister:
‘The characters are brought to life in a way that will leave you rooting for them. A touching tale about female friendship [and] finding strength when you need it most’ – Grazia
‘Distinct and so movingly told that as a reader you really root for them to thrive’ – Good Housekeeping
‘Brilliant. A powerful eye-opening read that will spark discussion – a perfect book-club pick’ – Prime Book of the Month
Congratulations, Jodie! Readers can pick up their copies here.
