    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Elias Thorne, a celebrated expert in forensic psychology, believes his life is a model of structure and truth—until his architect wife, Vivian Sterling, vanishes. Her only clue is a cryptic note: "The Only Lie That Matters Is the One You Tell Yourself." 
    Elias initially suspects infidelity, but his investigation leads him to a terrifying discovery: his perfect life, his esteemed career, and even his own memories were meticulously engineered by a clandestine organization known as The Cadre. Elias is Subject 404, a puppet designed to forget the trauma of his past and serve as an anchor for a massive, global psychological operation run by his own mentor, Dr. Alistair Finch. 
    Driven by a desperate need to reclaim his identity, Elias must follow the trail Vivian left behind—a complex, brilliant map hidden within architectural blueprints and coded messages. He soon realizes Vivian did not run from him; she ran for him, sacrificing her own safety to expose the ultimate deception and lead him to the one person he was programmed to forget: his sister, Phoenix. 
    Now, Elias must race across continents to evade The Cadre, decipher Vivian’s final, devastating secrets, and confront his creator to save the family he never knew he had. The Last Thing She Said is a high-stakes psychological thriller that asks: If the foundation of your life is built on a lie, how far would you go to reclaim the truth? 
    Discover the Masterpiece of Deception That Will Make You Question the Reality of Your Own Memories.

    FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF BLOODY BRILLIANT WOMEN 
    A Times Best Book of the Year 
    The Ladder brings together discussions between women – about work, love, growth, challenge, the big decisions and the stories of their lives. 
    Offering inspiration and wise counsel from some of the world’s most acclaimed and influential women, this book is an insight and a trove of solidarity, turning over ideas of change, anger, illness, imposter syndrome, self-knowledge, purpose, how to not panic in a crisis and how to stop worrying you’re boring when there isn’t one. 
    Amidst these pages are discussions with women who have achieved extraordinary things in their fields and pursuits, from politicians like Nicola Sturgeon and Angela Rayner to scientists like Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell, activists like Rosamund Kissi-Debrah, film-makers like Waad Al-Kateab, religious leaders like Rose Hudson-Wilkin and broadcasters like Joan Bakewell. 
    In The Ladder, Cathy Newman presents a powerful exploration of feminism and social studies, offering a unique blend of autobiography and non-fiction. The book is a testament to the power of women in various fields, from science to arts and entertainment, and a beacon of self-help and personal growth. 
    For fans of Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat Pray Love), Florence Given (Women Don't Owe You Pretty), Mary Portas (Work Like a Woman), Kimothy Joy (Extraordinary Wing Women), and Lissa Evans (Picnic on Craggy Island).

    This modern classic is "a tough, tender, bitter novel of a black girl struggling towards womanhood" in 1930s Harlem—with a foreword by James Baldwin (Publishers Weekly). 
     
     
     
    Depression-era Harlem is home for twelve-year-old Francie Coffin and her family, and it's both a place of refuge and the source of untold dangers for her and her poor, working class family. The beloved "daddy" of the title indeed becomes a number runner when he is unable to find legal work, and while one of Francie's brothers dreams of becoming a chemist, the other is already in a gang. Francie is a dreamer, too, but there are risks in everything from going to the movies to walking down the block, and her pragmatism eventually outweighs her hope; "We was all poor and black and apt to stay that way, and that was that." 
     
     
     
    First published in 1970, Daddy Was a Number Runner is one of the seminal novels of the black experience in America. The New York Times Book Review proclaimed it "a most important novel."
