But as the group's devotion deepens, the lines between empowerment and obedience begin to blur. Lars's ideas - once enthralling - grow darker, more coercive, and the women's sense of self starts to erode beneath the weight of his influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatching from the margins, Priya begins to see what the others cannot. Long accustomed to silence, she must decide whether to remain in her husband's shadow or intervene - despite the cost. Incisive, tender and unflinchingly honest, Other People's Bodies lays bare the quiet slide from strength to submission, from belief to blindness - and how when combined with a desire to be part of something, the pursuit of wellness can become the most insidious form of control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePraise for One of Those Mothers: 'Domestic noir up there with the best of them. Beautiful settings, believable characters, and a moral quandary to keep you reading through the night - One of Those Mothers is a page turner in all the right ways. - Jacqueline Bublitz, Before You Knew My Name 'With stiletto-sharp observation, vibrantly drawn characters and a deeply disturbing secret at its heart, One of Those Mothers had me in its grasp from the first chapter. A terrific debut.' - Charity Norman, Home Truths 'Wildly compelling, refreshingly raw exploration of motherhood, friendship and the haunting anxieties of parenthood.' - Claire Mabey, Books Editor, The Spinoff\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!--kaikora_description--\u003e\n  \u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eMegan Nicol Reed is the author of the bestselling One of Those Mothers.Thrice nominated for New Zealand's best columnist, Megan Nicol Reed spent seven long years mining her life for a column that originally ran in the Sunday Star Times and then the New Zealand Herald's Canvas magazine.The former journalist lives in Auckland with her husband, teenage daughter and elderly dog.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!--kaikora_description--\u003e\n  \u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" style=\"text-align: center;background-color: #8CB490;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781991006493\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAllen \u0026amp; Unwin NZ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImprint\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA\u0026amp;U New Zealand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight (g)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e364.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 March 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eh234mm  x  w153mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability date\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01 April 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ebooks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" style=\"text-align: center;background-color: #8CB490;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMegan Nicol Reed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBind\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnglish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFor more information on our shipping policy follow \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/folders.co.nz\/pages\/delivery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ethis link\u003c\/a\u003e and for our returns policy \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/folders.co.nz\/pages\/online-returns-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eclick here.\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!--kaikora_description--\u003e \n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!--kaikora_description--\u003e\n    ","brand":"United Books Distributors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49740985368813,"sku":"9781991006493","price":29.59,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0541\/2565\/8281\/files\/Other_Peoples_Bodies_9324587614445_1.jpg?v=1775015224","url":"https:\/\/marstonmoor.co.nz\/products\/other-peoples-bodies","provider":"Marston Moor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
