Win reading group copies of JADED, the must-read novel for 2024
‘JADED is a thoughtful, hard-hitting exploration of race, identity, and the rippling effects of sexual assault. Ela Lee writes with an urgency and clarity that will have you hooked until the last page.’
Cecile Pin, Women’s Prize longlisted author of Wandering Souls
Three reading groups can each win a set of 10 finished copies – just follow the email link below and tell us why your group would like to read the book. We also have reading group questions available. Deadline for entry is Tuesday 12 March. (UK residents only).
Synopsis:
Jade has become everything she ever wanted to be.
Successful lawyer.
Dutiful daughter.
Beloved girlfriend.
Loyal friend.
Until one night after a work event she suffers an unspeakable attack.
As she tries to confront what happened to her, she finds herself caught between her parents who can’t understand, her boyfriend who feels betrayed, and her job that expects silence.
The world Jade has constructed starts to crumble.
This raw, darkly funny novel explores the ‘grey-area’ of consent and recovery that’s far from linear, and will leave you asking yourself: what would you have done in Jade’s situation?
If successful, we’d love for each of your members to share a review on Amazon, Waterstones or the Reading Groups for Everyone website within eight weeks of receiving the books. Thank you.
