The Natural Way of Things
Summary
Two women awaken from a drugged sleep to find themselves imprisoned in an abandoned property in the middle of a desert. The Natural Way of Things is a gripping, starkly imaginative exploration of contemporary misogyny and corporate control and of what it means to hunt and be hunted. But most of all, it is the story of two friends, their sisterly love and courage.

The Weekend
Summary
Number one international best seller Shortlisted for the 2020 Australian Prime Minister's Literary Award Shortlisted for the Stella Prize 2020 Longlisted for the 2020 Miles Franklin Award “The Big Chill with a dash of Big Little Lies.... Knife-sharp and deeply alive.” (Guardian) “An insightful, poignant, and fiercely honest novel about female friendship and female aging.” (Sigrid Nunez, National Book Award-winning author of The Friend) "Friendship, ambition, love, sexual politics and death: it's all here in one sharp, funny, heartbreaking and gorgeously-written package. I loved it." (Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train) Three women in their 70s reunite for one last life-changing weekend in the beach house of their late friend. Four older women have a lifelong friendship of the best kind: loving, practical, frank, and steadfast. But when Sylvie dies, the ground shifts dangerously for the remaining three. They are Jude, a once-famous restaurateur; Wendy, an acclaimed public intellectual; and Adele, a renowned actress now mostly out of work. Struggling to recall exactly why they've remained close all these years, the grieving women gather at Sylvie's old beach house - not for festivities this time, but to clean it out before it is sold. Can they survive together without her? Without Sylvie to maintain the group's delicate equilibrium, frustrations build and painful memories press in. Fraying tempers, an elderly dog, unwelcome guests, and too much wine collide in a storm that brings long-buried hurts to the surface - and threatens to sweep away their friendship for good. The Weekend explores growing old and growing up and what happens when we're forced to uncover the lies we tell ourselves. Sharply observed and excruciatingly funny, this is a jewel of a book: a celebration of tenderness and friendship from an award-winning writer.

En estado salvaje [The Natural Way of Things]
Summary
Te preguntas dónde estás, pero lo que de verdad importa es saber qué eres. Diez mujeres atrapadas en medio de la nada. Escucha ahora esta novela que cuestiona el papel de la mujer en la sociedad. Perturbadora y difícil de olvidar. Son diez, y al despertarse una mañana descubren el horror: alguien las ha drogado y trasladado a un lugar siniestro en medio de la nada. Están encerradas en barracones oscuros, llevan unas túnicas de algodón basto, unas botas viejas y el pelo rapado. Van atadas como animales, caminan sin descanso a las órdenes de sus captores, y al volver les esperan un cuenco de papilla amarillenta y un vaso de agua sucia. No hay luz en el barracón ni conexión alguna con el mundo exterior; el silencio solo se rasga con el canto enloquecido de los pájaros por la noche. Son diez, diez mujeres jóvenes que fueron muy hermosas. Hace poco seguían las últimas tendencias de la moda, y ahora intentan saber qué pasó, dónde están y cómo salir de esta pesadilla. Preguntan, intentan averiguar, seducir a quien haga falta, pero la verdad tarda en llegar. ¿Vale la pena esperar? Al hilo de la mejor tradición literaria, con ecos que nos recuerdan las escenas más impactantes de El cuento de la criada y El señor de las moscas, Charlotte Wood ha escrito una novela hipnótica que nada tiene que ver con un futuro lejano. Estas diez mujeres podrían estar hoy aquí. Es más, podrían ser cualquiera de nosotras. Quien avisa no es traidor. La mejor novela reivindicativa en formato audiolibro Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.
