Charlotte Wood's shocking feminist dystopia, sees 10 women, all of whom have been involved in sex scandals with powerful men, held in a remote prison in Australia. Beautiful and savage - think Atwood in the outback. --Paula Hawkins, Observer
This is not psychological fiction but a horror parable; a portrait not of people, but of tendencies. Seen as mythical archetypes, the characters are only too frighteningly real...The Natural Way of Things is chillingly dark and unfashionably didactic. But it's also compulsively readable, and bears its load of significance with effortless power. The fury of contemporary feminism may have found its masterpiece of horror. --Guardian
A haunting parable of contemporary misogyny...Ms Wood's writing is direct and spare, yet capable of bursting with unexpected beauty. --Economist
A heavy, traumatic yet thrilling read... The Natural Way of Things had me gripped from beginning to end... It strongly appealed to my feminist nature and had me questioning our social standpoints.... An eye-opener in true form. --Grazia
This is an extraordinary novel: inspired, powerful, at once coherent and dreamlike. --Sydney Morning Herald, Best Books of 2015
A confronting and blazing read... A novel to provoke thought, conversation, disgust, anger and concern, a work that will haunt the reader with its poetry and the stark truths buried within Wood's brilliant exploration of a toxic culture in extremis. --Weekend Australian
A virtuoso performance, plotted deftly through a minefield of potential traps, weighted with allegory yet swift and sure in its narrative advance. --Rosemary Sorensen, Sydney Review of Books
A dystopian fable, both gripping and lyrical. --The Saturday Age, Best Books of 2015
A moving, mesmerising and brilliantly topical interrogation of misogyny that demands to be read at a sitting. --Adelaide Advertiser
Bold, provocative, startling and insightful, The Natural Way of Things is what fiction should be. --The Newtown Review of Books
[A] Confronting, confounding novel of mysteriously kidnapped and imprisoned women. --The Australian, Best Books of 2015
The kind of book you inhale in a sitting... Stark prose and unrelenting pace. --The Saturday Paper, Best Books of 2015
How each character copes with their unusual incarceration is fascinating. The language is beautiful... Charlotte Wood's is a unique, original voice that soothes and shocks in equal measures in this pitch-perfect dystopian nightmare. --Townsville Bulletin
Exposing the threads of misogyny, cowardice and abuses of power embedded in contemporary society, this is a confronting, sometimes deeply painful novel to read. With an unflinching eye and audacious imagination, Charlotte Wood carries us from a nightmare of helplessness and despair to a fantasy of revenge and reckoning.
