A family isolates themselves on an island to protect their daughters from the toxicity of the wider world—until their father disappears and strange men and a boy wash up on the shore. This atmospheric dystopian fable is told through alternating perspectives of the three daughters. The eldest, Grace, is narrated in a cool, flinty voice by Morfydd Clark, which contrasts with the enthusiasm and longing Gemma Whelan imbues into Lia’s voice. Hannah Murray narrates chapters that tell the story of all three sisters. The poetic language and quick chapters will draw listeners in, as will the mysteries of the outside world and the cruel “therapies” performed on the girls by their parents.
