‘It’s hard to tell if this book is truly a work of fiction or a horrific glance at reality’ Prima‘Like all the best dystopian fiction, Q takes the reader just a pace or two beyond where we’re already at. This is a sharply written and terrifyingly plausible tale of an education system where less than perfect is a life-threatening condition… I devoured it in a single day.' Louise Candlish‘Shocking…a powerful tale exploring themes of survival and superficiality.’ Cosmopolitan‘Christina Dalcher is fast becoming one of my favourite authors. It's a master class in dark dystopian fiction, clever, thought-provoking, beautifully written, and terrifyingly believable.’ Alice Feeney‘‘Powerful, devastating, shocking brilliant.’ Woman & Home‘WHAT A BOOK. ‘Shockingly, terrifyingly real – Christina Dalcher has got another bestseller on her hands.’ Lisa Hall‘Orwell meets Atwood in Christina Dalcher’s Q, a chilling look at how polite society can sleepwalk its way into horrifying atrocities. Timely, tense and frighteningly plausible, Q is an urgent clarion call against complacency.’ Kia Abdullah‘Dalcher conjures an America informed by tragic elements of its past and present where science and humanity are both abused in ways that are all-too familiar and plausible. Her heroic women and tough yet elegant prose suggest Margaret Atwood updated for this moment.’ Michael D'Antonio
