´óÏó´«Ã½

The lives of nine strangers - with a variety of emotional and physical needs - are about to change forever.

They’re thrown together at a remote health-and-wellness retreat that hides a dark agenda beneath its glamorous façade.

Romantic novelist Frances Welty, for example, is there to mend a broken heart, a bad back and a wounded ego. The other eight guests, though seemingly fine on the outside all harbour ghosts or pain of some kind as they arrive at Tranquillum House for a little restorative break.

However, it’s no ordinary health resort. It is owned and run by an equally wounded and strange woman who is determined that these guests’ lives will never be the same again after their ten day stay.

Written by Liane Moriarty, the bestselling author behind Emmy and Golden Globe-winning HBO series ‘Big Little Lies’.

Abridged in ten parts by Robin Brooks,

Read by Kerry Fox.

Producer: Celia De Wolff

First broadcast on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 4 in October 2018.
