Description
Lord of the Flies meets Love Island – dark, thrilling, and delightfully twisted’ LOUISE O'NEILL
‘So gripping and propulsive that it beats reality TV at its own game. Why watch TV when Aisling Rawle does it better?’ TORREY PETERS
‘A clever and delicious treat’ ZAKIYA DALILA HARRIS
‘Page-turning, nail-biting… utterly bingeable’ OLIVIA GATWOOD
You wake up in a compound in the middle of the desert, along with nine other women.
All of you are young, all beautiful, all keen to escape the grinding poverty, political unrest, and environmental catastrophe of the outside world.
You realise that cameras are tracking your every move, broadcasting to millions of reality TV fans.
Soon, ten men will arrive on foot – if they all survive the journey.
What will you have to do to win?
And what happens to the losers?
The Compound is an addictive literary satire on modern excess: it holds a twisted mirror up to our obsession with winning, losing and, above all, watching.
