About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The Three Lives of Cate Kay by Kate Fagan.

Read by Marin Ireland, Tessa Albertson, Genevieve Kingston, Imani Jade Powers, Corey Brill, Kevin R. Free, Daniel Henning, Hillary Huber, Helen Laser, Fred Sanders, Jackie Sanders, and Emily Woo Zeller

For fans of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, comes a debut novel from an amazing new talent.

‘Such clever and multilayered plotting from a highly original storyteller.' Edel Coffey, Irish Times bestselling author of Breaking Point

'If you loved the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, then you will be obsessed with this' Cosmo

Who is Cate Kay?

Cate Kay is the most famous author on the planet. But it’s just a name. Somehow, despite her bestselling novels and the record-breaking film franchise, the writer has remained completely anonymous.

Anne Marie Callahan is the name nobody knows. Only the people she left behind. And Annie knows there’s no one there anymore who could connect the dots between the girl who ran away all those years ago and the famous novelist.

If you asked, she’d say her name was Cass Ford. That’s what her barista shouts each morning. And it’s how she introduces herself to the woman she’ll eventually call the love of her life.

Three names, three lives. But Cate Kay is finally ready to tell you who she really is.

And when the truth is out, will everyone’s favourite novelist hold on to her place in our hearts or are some betrayals impossible to forgive?

Kate Fagan is the author of several New York Times bestselling non fiction books. Her debut novel is an astounding achievement. The Three Lives of Cate Kay explores the cost of ambition, the longings of first (and second and third) love, and how it's never too late to go home.

Kate Fagan is a masterful storyteller. (Emiko Jean, New York Times bestselling author of The Return of Ellie Black)
An addictive page-turner infused with humor and heart, The Three Lives of Cate Kay balances the dishy allure of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo with the empathy of Slow Dance. A joy to read from first page to last. (Melissa Albert, New York Times bestselling author of The Hazel Wood)
