And one that certainly got under my skin' Sharon Bolton'A truly engrossing read from an exceptional new talent. Hilary writes with a beguiling immediacy that pulls you straight into her world on the first page and leaves you bereft when you finish. Intelligent, emotional and totally unexpected in terms of where it goes. I truly loved this book' Alex MarwoodI think it must be one of the debut novels of next year, if not THE debut novel... (It will be if there is any justice in the world!)

It's very disturbing and builds up to a terrific climaxI finished it today and it's completely brilliant, complex, thrilling, brutal, tender, scary and intriguing. What a great book. The pacing is superb, the plot is compelling, the characters are so well drawn. The ending is ingeniousSarah Hilary lives in Bath with her husband and daughter, where she writes quirky copy for a well-loved travel publisher.
