*Now a major motion picture starring Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal*

A taut, psychological thriller from Iain Reid, “one of the most talented purveyors of weird, dark narratives in contemporary fiction” (Los Angeles Review of Books).

Severe climate change has ravaged the country, leaving behind a charred wasteland. Junior and Henrietta live a comfortable if solitary life on one of the last remaining farms. Their private existence is disturbed the day a stranger comes to the door with alarming news.

Junior has been randomly selected to travel far away from the farm, but the most unusual part is that arrangements have already been made so that when he leaves, Henrietta won’t have a chance to miss him. She won’t be left alone—not even for a moment. Henrietta will have company. Familiar company.

Told in Iain Reid’s sparse, biting style, Foe is a “mind-bending and genre-defying work of genius” (Liz Nugent, author of Unraveling Oliver) that will stay with you long after you turn the final page. Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Psychologique Suspense Thrillers et romans à suspense

it's a charming little slap in the face. it was like a black mirror episode. at times, cute, endearing. others, alarming, brutal. made me think of the quote, I'll paraphrase, "marry someone who loves you more."

what is love, friendship, commitment?

I wasn't sure I could keep going with this book, it was odd and I didn't think it was very well written. BUT it was worth sticking it out until the end.

Stick with it until the end

This is an excellent piece. I found out later that the printed text has clues and information the audio does not, but I was not disappointed just intrigued when I found out. I enjoyed the story and the reading of the story. I will look for more Reid in the future. I found that the plot was a bit predictable (which is why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 for story), but that could just be because this is a genre I love.

Excellent but the text has things you miss

Very interesting concept. I enjoyed this book and it had a great twist. Mild spoiler * but not really - The ending though also made me wonder why she didn’t do it sooner so the two could just live together in harmony. Would they know? Would anyone know?

I found this very slow. I listened to it mostly while driving, and found myself wishing I would arrive so I could turn it off. I would have quit it, but I’d promised a friend I’d read it.
The first turn off was the reader’s voice. I think the next time I encounter him, I’ll start with a print version, then see if I feel the same turn off to the recorded version.

Not my kind of story
