Publisher's Summary
A new provocative love story from the New York Times best-selling author of All the Ugly and Wonderful Things.
"The story of Zee and Gentry is the reason we read." (Brunonia Barry)
Their journey will break them - or save them. A moving and complicated love story for our time, The Reckless Oath We Made redefines what it means to be heroic. Zee has never admitted to needing anybody. But she needs Gentry. Her tough exterior shelters a heart that's loyal to the point of self-destruction, while autistic Gentry wears his heart on his sleeve, including his desire to protect Zee at all costs. When an abduction tears Zee's family apart, she turns to Gentry - and sets in motion a journey and a love that will change their lives forever.
"[A] mind-blowing book that has left me scrambling to pick up the pieces of my brain and my shattered heart.... Prepare to have your mind and heart expanded to their limits." (The Oklahoman)

Bernie Raleigh is a failure at nearly everything he touches. Nobody notices a loser, and after being kidnapped for ransom as a child, Bernie has spent his adult life trying to avoid being noticed. That's impossible now that he's inherited his grandfather's enormous fortune. The inheritance comes complete with a mansion, a lot of obligations, and a very problematic housekeeper named Meda Amos. Beauty queen, alien abductee, crypto-Jew, single mother—Meda is all those things, and she may be the only person who can help Bernie survive his new and very public life.

Did you know that there are more penises than women in the Bayeux Tapestry? That the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381 was started and propelled by women who were protesting a tax on women? Or that Charles Darwin believed not just that women were naturally inferior to men, but that they’d evolve to become ever more inferior? These are just a few of the startling findings you will learn from listening to Philippa Gregory’s Normal Women. In this ambitious book, she tells the story of England over 900 years, for the very first time placing women—some fifty per cent of the population—center stage.

What the critics say
“Leave it to Bryn Greenwood to find loyalty and love in a world that seems devoid of both.... Captivating, complex, and relentless, the story of Zee and Gentry is the reason we read, the chance to take a journey we’d never dare in real life, one that changes our perspective forever.” (Brunonia Barry, author of The Lace Reader)
“Unforgettable...Greenwood depicts an unconventional romance with honesty and tenderness. [This] upside-down contemporary fairy tale captivates with its wonderfully inventive storytelling and its compassionately drawn, flawed characters.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
“The inventiveness of the plot is nicely matched by the richness of the characters, as the unlikely duo of Zee and Gentry prepares for the battle of their lives.” (Booklist)

great book, amazing narration
The love story between Gentry and Zee is carefully woven into Zee's life mess and Gentry's extraordinary mind and his day-to-day. Sure it's provocative, but thoughtfully told, going down each narrative just far enough before moving to another.

Captivating
When I first started to listen to this book I thought I wouldn’t like it. After a few chapters, I was completely enthralled. A captivating story.

Very Original
Really interesting premise about an autistic man who speaks only old English who gets sucked into a strange crime for the woman he’s decided to champion. Although the big event was awfully bizarre I didn’t hate it. I did find that the middle went on a little too long and the crime just didn’t make sense.

Not for everyone
This was at most original, but in no way plausible. I didn’t like multiple narrators as they at times just didn’t fit the character and were somewhat jarring. I admit I skipped ahead as I did want to know the ending but couldn’t handle listening anymore.
