From the author of A Room Called Earth, a brilliant new novel about the mess that comes before salvation.
Camille lives in the country.
She’s forgotten her phone.
She’s taking the train to work.
She’s got period pain.
She can’t escape herself … or her toxic boss, Holly. And it’s Valentine’s Day.
The Knowing is a day in the life of a woman who goes to work as usual while dreaming of more.
"
‘The Knowing is a pacy novel. Ryan has great control over the rhythm and momentum of the short chapters through which it progresses, which makes the ever-increasing pressure on Camille all the more palpable … The Knowing is a visceral and sensual novel that is very much concerned with what it means to be a body in the world, and the ways in which we might attend to its pleasures and demands. It is deliciously funny – mostly because of Camille’s sharp, wry wit, which is always tempered by her slight awkwardness — and deeply empathetic. A distinctive, assured work.’

‘Full of effortless humour, all-too-relatable moments, and a metaphysical realisation regarding first-world problems, The Knowing is an easy, addictive read about womanhood, relationships, social media, and body image … Ryan speaks to the reader in a way that makes you feel seen, heard, and truly understood.’
" - Readings
"
‘The vignette-style chapters address timely topics such as capitalism, feminism, burnout, addiction, work culture, relationships and women’s bodily autonomy … The Knowing will resonate with readers of autofiction and those who enjoyed Ryan’s debut, offering a thought-provoking exploration of self-discovery and the complexities of modern life.’

Praise for A Room Called Earth:
‘Extraordinary … The dazzling directness of her prose opens thrilling new doors into the female experience of the sexual, spiritual, and social worlds … The smart, magical voice Madeleine Ryan has found in A Room Called Earth is unlike anything else you’ll find this year.’
" - The Independent
"
Praise for A Room Called Earth:
‘A Room Called Earth is visceral and voluptuous … The book is a quiet celebration of holding dear to the space within yourself and if you look beyond your skin, how earth itself can bring comfort and wonder.’
" - The Sydney Morning Herald

Praise for A Room Called Earth:
‘Instead of keeping us at arm’s length, Ryan’s narrator allows us to loiter in her brain the entire time, with no feelings or thoughts off-limits. What unfolds is an act of radical generosity. It’s less unfiltered stream of consciousness and more a continuous hum of deeply flawed, compassionate, curious, unpredictable thoughts that reveal a neurodivergent worldview.’
