Description
"Shocking, disturbing, and utterly original." — Paula Hawkins, #1 New York Times bestselling author
This "haunting and poignant tale, one that won't be easy to forget any time soon" (Mystery and Suspense Magazine), follows an enigmatic woman confronting her unknown past — from internationally bestselling author Liz Nugent.
Reclusive Sally Diamond is thrust into the media spotlight when she tries to incinerate her dead father, causing widespread outrage. Now she's the centre of attention, not only from hungry reporters and police detectives, but also a sinister voice from a past she does not remember.
As she begins to discover the repressed memories of her horrific early childhood, Sally steps into the world for the first time, making new friends, big decisions, and learning that people don't always mean what they say.
But who is the man observing Sally from the other side of the world, and why does he call her Mary? And why does her new neighbour seem to be obsessed with her?
Sally's trust issues are about to be severely challenged in this "truly incredible reading experience" (Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author).
