A woman and her young daughter turn up after escaping from a remote cabin in the woods, where they were held captive. Lena disappeared years ago, and her parents, Jonathan and Gundula, rush to the hospital to meet her, and the child, Hannah, who has never been outside. Something feels wrong, though: Lena has changed, and her parents begin to wonder whether she is really the daughter they lost. The story is told from multiple viewpoints, including a child's, and plays with the reader's assumptions as the truth slowly emerges.
A twisty psychological thriller for readers who like unreliable narrators and domestic suspense. Fans of Room and other stories of captivity will find a tense, fast read, though it includes disturbing material.
Practical and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
