"#Lioness by New Zealand author Emily Perkins is the most exciting novel I've read in ages."
— Marian Keyes

Can you change your life? Should you? And if you do, what is the cost? What is the work of self-doubt? What does freedom really mean? These are the questions at the heart of Emily Perkins’ wildly compelling new novel about Therese Thorne’s mid-life reckoning. Emily Perkins talks with Kim Hill about the origins of Lioness and what it took to write it.
