Win, read and review copies of The Herd by Emily Edwards!

Transworld is delighted to offer 10 reading groups 10 copies of Emily Edward’s novel about two best friends who discover that they have radically different views on vaccinating their children (and the fallout of that), to read and review!

About the book

Elizabeth and Bryony are polar opposites but their unexpected friendship has always worked. They’re the best of friends, and godmothers to each other’s daughters – because they trust that the safety of their children is both of their top priority. But what if their choice could harm your own child?

Little do they know that they differ radically over one very important issue. And when Bryony, afraid of being judged, tells what is supposed to be a harmless white lie before a child’s birthday party, the consequences are more catastrophic than either of them could ever have imagined…

How to take part

If your reading group would like to receive 10 copies of The Herd to read and review, please pitch via this short survey no later than Friday 30 January.
