The Testament of Jessie Lamb: A Novel

In a chilling future, one 16-year-old girl is driven to the ultimate act of heroism. The Testament of Jessie Lamb, longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, is the breakout novel from award-winning author Jane Rogers. Its cunningly drawn characters and riveting vision of a dystopic future fraught with difficult moral choices will make The Testament of Jessie Lamb an instant favorite for fans of Kazuo Ishiguro€s Never Let Me Go, Margaret Atwood€s The Handmaid€s Tale, Suzanne Collins€s The Hunger Games, and Brian K. Vaughan€s Y: The Last Man.

€œThe novel does not set up an elaborate apocalypse, but astringently strips away the smears hiding the apocalypses we really face. Like Jessie€s, it is a small, calm voice of reason in a nonsensical world.€ €"The Independent
