'Her best novel yet... Twisty, malevolent and gripping' Lisa Jewell, No. 1 bestselling author of The Family Upstairs
To the outside world Hannah married the perfect man. Behind the closed doors of their imposing home it's a very different story. Nathan controls everything Hannah does. He chooses her clothes, checks her receipts, and keeps her passport locked away. But why does she let him?
Years before, in the midst of a relentless storm, the tragic events of one night changed everything. And Hannah has been living with the consequences ever since. Keeping Nathan happy. Doing as she's told.
But the past is about to catch up with them.
Set against the unforgiving backdrop of a Cornish fishing port in the '90s, this is a devastating exploration of the power of coercive control in a marriage where nothing is quite as it seems...
