A harrowing story of sexual abuse, privilege and trauma.
It's Christmas Eve, and a young woman with Down's syndrome has just disclosed abuse by two men. The problem is she is a member of the British aristocracy and the men she accuses are a top politician and a rock star. How does a national health team struggle with the situation of alleged abuse by the elite and super rich? Despite a traitor in their midst, the team uncovers the appalling reality of the abusive international cult known as The Orpheus Project with its mysterious American spokesperson and powerful connections. This is the world of conspiracy theories; the Orpheus Project and the secret society that surrounds it seek to offer a form of immortality through deliberately installed dissociative disorders.
At the core of this powerful novel is the story of a mother and daughter who find a way of reuniting, and the longterm consequences of childhood trauma.

Political intrigue, secret societies, cover ups, twisting the true story. Reading this work of fiction I could easily accept it was real life. as those in power race to twist the revealed historical sexual abuse for their own purpose and protection. It raises questions about power, who has it and how do we protect the vulnerable. Thank you to Literally PR and NetGalley for the ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.

This book is so well written. Although written in fiction it shines a light on what could happen. The story of a family within the aristocracy. It does not matter how wealthy you are things happen that society does not want to hear about. It’s frightening knowing what could lie below the surface. It would be lovely to follow Rose and the other characters in the book. Left me wanting to know more. Does Rose break free
