Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

I believe every word you say. That was always my mistake.

Bright, promising Emma is entangled in a toxic romance with her old professor - and she's losing control.

Cruel, charming Tom is idolized by his students and peers - confident he holds all the cards.

In their small Oxford home, he manipulates and undermines her every thought and act. Soon, he will push her to the limit and she must decide: to remain quiet and submit, or to take her revenge.

The Poet is a portrait of a deeply dysfunctional relationship, exploring coercive control, class and privilege. It is also a passionate, page-turning tale of female solidarity and survival.

Reviews

A beautiful, biting page-turner... is it any different for young women, these days? Reid's novel provides -- as the best fiction does -- a nuanced, thought provoking answer to this question. Brisk, disturbing and very satisfying Written in verse and wildly original, this passionate tale of coercive control and female solidarity is nothing short of a work of art. This is the book I have always needed, it is F*****G BRILLIANT and everyone should read it. We've never read anything quite like this before... the poetry sings so beautifully... you'll be completely submerged Expand reviews
