The Marriage Act

About the book

What if marriage was not just a choice, but a requirement mandated by law? Will you have the courage to defy it? In a world reminiscent of Black Mirror and infused with the suspense of a thriller, author of The One introduces a dark and thought-provoking novel with echoes of Naomi Alderman's The Power.

Set in a near-future Britain, a conservative government unveils the Sanctity of Marriage Act, promoting marriage as the ultimate solution to societal problems and punishing those who opt for solitude. As the government surveils every aspect of citizens' lives, four couples will face the harsh reality of relationships under constant scrutiny - their every word, every disagreement scrutinized and manipulated to enforce a strict code of love, loyalty, and obedience.
