About this listen
They would rather die than become mothers.
A serial killer is on the loose in Tel Aviv. Each victim is found tied to a chair with a baby doll glued to their hands, the word 'mother' carved into their forehead like a mark of Cain.
Stowed away between the wax figurines of the Bible museum where she works, Sheila Heller knows both victims. She suspects the killings have something to do with a pact their group all made at university - to never have children.
What Sheila doesn't know is who is committing these gruesome acts of ritualistic violence, and whether she herself might be the next target.

"Dark and funny." (Ayelet Gundar-Goshen, author of Liar)
"The Others is a meaningful and original take on one of the most emotionally charged and complex issues in society - expectation for women to bear children. Filled with tension and thrill and pitch-perfect characters, this is a convincing and enviable mystery." (Assaf Gavron, author of The Hilltop)
"Steeped in the stories of the bible, this razor-sharp thriller combines propulsive narrative with subtle, insightful commentary on identity, gender roles and the different ways we contend with loss. Engrossing and thought-provoking, with a strong sense of place and a set of complex, unforgettable characters, The Others will live with you long after putting the book down." (Daniela Petrova, author of Her Mother's Daughter)
