Klappentext
HOW MUCH IS YOUR SUFFERING WORTH?
'Timely, innovative and fantastically compelling .' PANDORA SYKES
'Felt like I was in an episode of Black Mirror...had me hooked from the beginning' The unmissable, thought-provoking new dystopian thriller, 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?
