Book Description
Where women are created for the pleasure of men, beauty is the first duty of every girl. In Louise O'Neill's world of Only Every Yours women are no longer born naturally, girls (called "eves") are raised in Schools and trained in the arts of pleasing men until they come of age. Freida and Isabel are best friends. Now, aged sixteen and in their final year, they expect to be selected as companions--wives to powerful men. All they have to do is ensure they stay in the top ten beautiful girls in their year. The alternatives--life as a concubine, or a chastity (teaching endless generations of girls)--are too horrible to contemplate. But as the intensity of final year takes hold, the pressure to be perfect mounts. Isabel starts to self-destruct, putting her beauty--her only asset--in peril. And then into this sealed female environment, the boys arrive, eager to choose a bride. Freida must fight for her future--even if it means betraying the only friend, the only love, she has ever known.

From the author: As a young girl, I used to lie in bed and think how, if the world was so big, that somewhere there might be a girl exactly like me, my twin, living another whole life. In my fantasy our connection would be strong enough one day to pull us together - one day I would find myself. I's still a compelling idea. I still half believe it to be true.Only Ever Always is a beautifully crafted and emotionally intense novel that teases out this intriguing idea. It is both a classic philosophical quandary and an exploration of the line between self and the material world - does the world shape us, or do we shape the world?
