The Glow lydbok

A desperate young publicist tries to save her career by turning a grungy retreat centre and its charismatic leader into the hot new self-care brand in this darkly comedic, razor-sharp debut novel, and send-up of the wellness industry. For fans of Halle Butler's THE NEW ME, Abigail Bergstrom's WHAT A SHAME and Liane Moriaty's NINE PERFECT STRANGERS Jane Dorner has two modes: PR Jane is twenty-five, breezy, clever in a non-threatening way and eager to sell you a feminist vibrator. Actual Jane is twenty-nine, drifting through mediocre workdays and lackluster dates while paralysed by her crushing mountain of overdue bills. Enter the impossibly gorgeous Cass, whom Jane discovers scrolling through Instagram - the guru of a 'wellness retreat' based out of a ramshackle country house that may or may not be giving off cult vibes. Suddenly Jane realises she might have found the one ladder she can climb. But inner peace and glowing skin will always come at a price... 'Jane Austen on steroids. It's that sharp, that wicked, that laceratingly true' Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours 'Intoxicating . . . A wellness tonic for people who like to make fun of the wellness industry' Leigh Stein, author of Self Care (P) Headline Publishing Group Ltd 2023
