What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘Though set in a dystopian world replete with endless horrors, The Sisterhood ultimately tackles a much more universal story, that of a woman on a quest to seek identity and purpose in a society which denies her access to both. Where any passion beyond the all-encompassing authority of Big Brother is forbidden, much love simmers beneath the surface of Katherine Bradley’s fast-paced and suspenseful work. The Sisterhood’s greatest gift, however, may be in its message of hope, capable of surmounting even the most formidable of odds and the most uncertain of futures’

KATHERINE J. CHEN, author of Joan

‘A gut-wrenching, heart-breaking journey through the looking glass of 1984. Compulsively written, Julia’s is a story begging to be told’

FREYA BERRY, author of The Dictator’s Wife


1984’s Julia gets the spotlight in this reimagining of Orwell’s classic, where she presents as a dutiful Outer Party member, but is working with a small band of rebel women. A heart-pounding look into a secondary character’s legacy’

Grazia



‘A compelling tale of love and sacrifice, a worthy companion to the original novel’

My Weekly



‘Sinister, chilling and heart-breaking, it’s a worthy successor to Orwell’s dystopian classic, allowing readers to explore a new version of Julia’s story’

Culturefly


‘A dazzling retelling of the classic dystopian novel, which raises profound questions about how society works, and whether or not woman have political agency. I found it memorable, deeply moving, and at times, terrifying’

KATE RHODES, author of the Ben Kitto series

‘Katherine Bradley has delivered a worthy counterpart to George Orwell’s 1984 in this chilling, taut book. It’s as claustrophobic as it needs to be; particularly frightening as one looks around and sees that we are voluntarily moving towards Orwell’s nightmare. It is nothing short of a triumph’

MARA TIMON, author of City of Spies

‘In this highly original take on Orwell’s 1984 – the Big Brother of all dystopian classics – Bradley weaves a complex and engaging plot around the idea of a female resistance to oppressive overlords. Oppressive and creepy, but with real heart’

A. K. TURNER, author of the Cassie Raven series
