The circle draws in her friend Yaz too and they are both invited to an intimate hen do, except it’s not a hen do – it's a Goddess Retreat. While Ayesha, longing to find her tribe, tries desperately to fit herself into a shape that the women will accept, Yaz treats the entire ‘itinerary’ with open disdain.

As the weekend descends into chaos, they’ll need to stick together if they want to get out alive.Goddesses is a bitingly brilliant novel that explores the power dynamics of sisterhood and activism, the dark side of white feminism and the importance of making your voice heard.READERS LOVE GODDESSES ‘Captivating’ ‘Thrilling’ ‘Filled with unexpected twists’ ‘So damn INTENSE’ Show more
