"A woman seeking the feeling of freedom, invisible in the eyes of society - Agave’s life has become stagnant. Her bones burning with loneliness, she goes in search of liberation. A vengeful god with a flair for the dramatic indulges her resistance to her son’s oppressive nature, and before she knows it she’s living in the wild. It’s women only, and as they unite in ecstatic transcendence, Agave begins to lose her grip on reality."

‘Brady’s writing is rhythmic and full of variation, switching voices and eras to impressive effect’ – Tom Bolton
