'Trad Wife is terrifying . . . a surreal and slick feminist feast'
Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes

Your favourite influencer is about to be exposed . . .

Every day, millions watch Mia Wright, the "trad wife" queen, on her idyllic 300-acre farm. With her handsome husband, seven perfect children, and a life of from-scratch meals, she's an icon of modern femininity. But behind every perfect image is a lie.

Desperate to save her tarnished career, journalist Jenny Kaplan arrives at Black Swan Farm to profile Mia. Jenny is ready to write a scathing exposé, determined to uncover the deception behind Mia's curated life.

But there's something wrong at the farmhouse.

It slithers through Jenny's dreams when the children sing strange nursery rhymes at night. She's losing time. She's losing her hair. She starts to worry that she's losing her mind.

There is a horror at the heart of Black Swan, and it's waiting just for Jenny.
