Best-selling author Zoe Heller has followed up the critical and commercial success of Notes on a Scandal with another tour-de-force on the meaning of faith, belief, and trust: The Believers. Tragic and comic, witty and intense, The Believers is the story of a dysfunctional family forced by tragedy to confront their own personal demons. In the vein of Claire Messud and Zadie Smith, Zoe Heller has written that rare novel that tackles the big ideas without sacrificing page-turning readability.

The 2006 film adaptation of her bestselling novel Notes on a Scandal, starring Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench, received four Oscar nominations. Zo? Heller writes a column for the Daily Telegraph and was Columnist of the Year for 2002.
