Psychologist Gabrielle is recovering from a devastating car crash when she takes on a job at a maximum-security facility for juvenile patients. Here she meets Bethany, a cruel teenager who insists she can predict natural disasters – a claim Gabrielle interprets as a symptom of her zealous, evangelical upbringing. But when disasters begin happening as predicted, Gabrielle questions whether she is a fervent manipulator or a messenger of global catastrophe. A haunting story of devotion, faith and fury, and Liz Jensen’s bestselling novel, The Rapture is a cerebral thriller that explores the extremes of mankind’s self-destruction in a world on the brink of collapse.
