"The Nurse" explores the very real, very dangerous, culture of Incels. If you don't know what that means, you're in for the shock of your life. I urge you to read the Author's Note at the end for context, and I also highly recommend Laura Bates's work of non-fiction on the subject, entitled "Men Who Hate Women". Allan has used fiction to explore a hugely important (and little understood) issue in a way that is engaging and gripping. I hope this book is a massive bestseller. It deserves to be.
The book centres on the incel movement, which I must admit I had never heard of before, and the story is told from 3 points of view, Nell, the Nurse, Marian, Nell's mother and Him, the incel catalyst for what befell Nell.
It was a very uncomfortable read at times when reading the Him chapters as his attitudes and actions are truly incomprehensible but at the same time you know that these misogynistic attitudes are alive and well in our real lives, which makes the story much more worryingly believable.
The story starts with Him posting videos on the dark Web of him following women menacingly without any physical actions, but leaving women frightened and scared. He revels in the power of seeing how afraid he makes women, who he thinks have stripped men of their masculinity and sets a hashtag #Ihavethepower on his posts. This quickly escalates on the incel forum he belongs to and he enjoys the notoriety and the 'likes' and many followers he gets.
The story builds with the the death of a young woman with connections to Nell and the race is on to find her before she suffers the same fate.
The conclusion of the story surprised me in that I felt more could've been done to show that men, who perpetrate this type of crime against women, are publicly brought to justice.
The story will be with me for a long time and I have to admit to checking behind myself when out walking, even in daylight!
We live in a very dangerous world and this book take you deep into the dark.
From a parent perspective and also from a criminal mind as well as from a victim you will be thrown Into a series of spiraling emotions from start to finish
