The Red Hairband is a post-apocalyptic, literary science fiction novel. How does our upbringing influence our interpretation of the world? Evie, Laura, and Bertram, must confront this question in their three intertwined stories.
Evie is indoctrinated by a repressive regime, and throws herself into conflict with a more liberal society. She tries to destroy them, but fails. Instead, a myth about her life is used to start a revolution against the regime.
Laura's new-born son, Edmond, is a time traveller from the future, but she isn't believed and is diagnosed with post-natal depression. To avoid being sectioned she joins him in his world.
Bertram, an orphan, is desperate to find his parents. While searching, he meets Edmond and Laura, and uncovers the truth about Evie. He decides to expose the person behind the myth.
The Red Hairband is an exploration of the inhumanity that certainty about our ideas can bring about; it advocates for doubt about all our beliefs.

Since an early age Catherine Greene has been fascinated by totalitarian regimes and the ways in which they use utopian dreams to subvert people's sense of morality. This book is an exploration of this theme. It has been a longstanding ambition of Catherine's to become an author, but it wasn't until she returned to university later in life that she felt able to write coherently. She has had a varied career including working as a journalist, an academic, and latterly as an ethics consultant. She lives in Kent with her husband and son and enjoys walking in the countryside, camping, and TV she'd be embarrassed to be caught watching.
