About this listen

A tale of intense, flickering intelligence, Tell is structured as a series of interview transcripts with a woman who worked as a gardener for a wealthy businessman and art collector who has mysteriously disappeared.

The joint winner of The Novel Prize, Tell is a work of strange and intoxicating immediacy that explores money, art and industry, the intimacy and distance between social classes, and the complex fluidity of memory.

Critic Reviews

'A riveting thriller that sweeps you in from the off … Buckley's prose is unpretentious and engrossing, weaving in a constant sense of foreboding that proves irresistible.' (AnOther Magazine)
'This self-reflexivity results in a thought-provoking, artfully constructed narrative enriched by the mysteries that expand and proliferate throughout. It's a deliciously fraught tour de force.' (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
'[T]he gardener's voice is companionable and persuasive, and, as she speaks, the sound comes in from all around. All of this adds up to a rich and satisfying portrait ... and a fascinating exploration of what it means to tell stories about our lives.' (David Annand, Times Literary Supplement)
