Convinced that her brother has been wrongfully convicted of a terrible crime, Mia comes up against the full force of a regime determined to control every aspect of its citizens' lives.

Review:
"This is a brilliant, disturbing and wildly imaginative picture of the nanny state run mad; how far should the State be allowed to poke its nose into a citizen's business?" (Kate Saunders Times)
"Zeh seems to have won every European literary prize going...Three years since its first publication in German (it is translated here with tremendous gusto by Sally-Ann Spencer), Zeh’s novel is even more relevant to our over-structure, over-quantified times." (Simon Ings Guardian)
"An impressively plausible account of a conformist society disguised as a utopia" (Lucy Popescu Independent)
"In Sally-Ann Spencer's superb translation from German, Juli Zeh's novel gives form to a dystopia that remains hauntingly recognizable" (Charlotte Ryland Times Literary Supplement)
"Thoughtful and intelligent...her main character Mia is an intellectual heroine as much as a physical rebel." (Lesley McDowell Sunday Herald)
