Adding to her growing sense of inadequacy, her mediocre white boyfriend, Adam, has successfully leveraged his savant-level aptitude for languages into an enviable career. But when Adam learns to speak Urdu practically overnight, Anisa forces him to reveal his secret. Adam begrudgingly tells her about The Centre, an elite, invite-only program that guarantees complete fluency in any language, in just ten days. This sounds, to Anisa, like a step toward the life she's always wanted. Stripped of her belongings and all contact with the outside world, she enrolls and undergoes The Centre's strange and rigorous processes. But as Anisa enmeshes herself further within the organization, seduced by all that it's made possible, she soon realizes the hidden cost of its services" $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women translators 650 0 $a Pakistanis $z London $z London 650 0 $a Language schools 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Psychological fiction $2 lcgft 941 $a 18 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509011828.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409044711.0 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323012902.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025710.0 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119020906.0 952 $l SEPC074 $d 20231219014609.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207020524.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206013344.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20231114011040.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20231005010854.0 952 $l TNPD062 $d 20230919014645.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20230902015155.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230902014339.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230819010108.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20230816010105.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230802012033.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230802010641.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20230708010108.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BC48E4F01D5411EE85C7632C52ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
