Book of the Month - May 2019

*EXCLUSIVE DUST JACKET FOR GOLDSBORO BOOKS*

'Ramos has written a firecracker of a novel, at once caustic and tender, page-turning and thought-provoking. This is a fierce indictment of the vampiric nature of modern capitalism, which never loses sight of the very human stories at its centre. Highly recommended.' -Madeline Miller, Sunday Times bestselling author of Circe

‘Oh my GOSH this is amazing. It’s hard to explain what The Farm is about, because it's about everything a book SHOULD be about. Race & class & power & inequality, and it’s dark & funny ALL AT THE SAME TIME.’ -Joanna Cannon, Sunday Times bestselling author of Three Things About Elsie and The Trouble with Goats and Sheep

‘Utterly brilliant and beautifully written. I couldn’t put it down!’ -Christie Watson, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Language of Kindness

‘Compelling, thought-provoking and beautifully-written, The Farm is a knock-out debut novel. I’m still thinking and worrying about the characters a week after finishing.’ - Paula Daly, author of Open Your Eyes

‘A highly original and provocative story about the impossible choices in so many women’s lives. These characters will stay with me for a long time’ - Karen Thompson Walker , author of THE AGE OF MIRACLES (and the forthcoming THE DREAMERS)

‘The Farm terrifies with a simple question: How much of ourselves are we willing to sell? With characters so real they leap off the page, Ramos yanks the reader into a world of Haves and Have-Nots, and her question lingers long after we turn the final page.’ - Christina Dalcher, author of Vox

‘Wow, Joanne Ramos has written the page-turner about immigrants chasing what's left of the American dream. Truly unforgettable’ - Gary Shteyngart, New York Times bestselling author of Super Sad True Love Story and Lake Success

‘The Farm is a chillingly plausible imagination of the future of pregnancy in a world of ever-greater inequality. What at first feels off-kilter is slowly ramped up to truly chilling, so subtly that we barely notice the change happening - it's not afraid to ask searching questions about who wins and who loses when women's bodies are commodified, how freedom and agency for some come at a cost for others. It's sharply prescient, and terrifying too.’ - Sophie Mackintosh, author of the Booker-longlisted The Water Cure
