About the Book

In the heart of a society where suffering is silent and pervasive, "The Abbey" stands as a beacon of hope and transformation, conceptualized by the philanthropic Mr. Edward Stramford. Marketed as a haven for the troubled, it promises to extricate 'problem people' - those whose existence unwittingly generates chaos and pain due to an array of complex issues - from the general populace. Within the splendid confines of its grounds, complete with extensive libraries, sports facilities, and agricultural marvels, residents are submerged in a demanding yet deceptive program of self-enhancement, all in the pursuit of holistic well-being.

However, the shimmering surface of this sanctuary masks a disturbing reality, one that young Charlotte, ensnared by her own narcissism and past failings, begins to decode after being deceived into believing she was entering a high-end spa retreat. Her awakening to the grim confines of her new reality aligns with a subtle but insidious shift in the Abbey's operation, as a wealthy Saudi dignitary's influence begins to permeate, distorting its foundational ethos.

The narrative intricately entangles with the personal dilemmas of Bim Nkosi, the Nigerian-born British Prime Minister, and his spouse Pauline, who, in a bid for political and social freedom, entrust their severely disabled son to the care of The Abbey. Their story is one of internal conflict and ethical uncertainty, mirroring the collective struggle of the institution's inhabitants.

Amidst these unfolding dramas, a host of other characters come to the fore, each embodying the spectrum of human virtue and vice. Mother Pascal, ostensibly a figure of spiritual guidance, unveils a penchant for cruelty, exerting her authority through fear and punishment. Conversely, figures like Mr. Romano, the amiable chef with hidden depths, and Patricia, the downtrodden elder who finds a questionable form of salvation within The Abbey's walls, offer glimpses of warmth and the possibility of redemption.

"The Abbey" delves deep into the philosophical and moral quandaries of autonomy, influence, and the fine line separating idealistic visions from dystopian realities. As the narrative unfolds, readers are compelled to confront uncomfortable truths about societal norms, the nature of freedom, and the cost of utopian dreams, all while navigating the complex web of relationships and power dynamics that define this enigmatic institution.
