Debut Novel from Badminton Alumna, Freya Berry - Out Now!

The Dictator's Wife
The Dictator's Wife

We are delighted to share that OB Freya Berry (2002-2008) has had her debut novel published! The Dictator's Wife explores how tyrants deploy glamorous spouses to soften their image. 

The Dictator's Wife is a 'a gripping, intelligent, utterly-of-the-moment thriller' -- Emma Stonex, bestselling author of The Lamplighters (and another Old Badmintonian!)

Waterstones says 'prescient and audacious, Berry's pin-sharp deconstruction of despotism and avarice asks searching questions about the nature of truth, as a tyrant's spouse goes on trial accused of colluding in his crimes'

Congratulations Freya, we have ordered a copy for The Casson Library! The Dictator's Wife is widely available now at all good retailers.
