"Published in the U.K. earlier this year, this absorbing novel tells the story of Natty Wainwright, who returns home to England after a short trip abroad to care for her daughter. Once back, she finds that her husband has been seduced by an old friend, Eve, who'd agreed to "help out" during Natty's absence. Providing both Natty and Eve's points of view, this psychologically taut and suspenseful read offers rising tension as Natty's "perfect" life falls apart in front of her. It seems her life wasn't so perfect after all, and decades-old secrets lie at the bottom of Eve's plot to replace Natty entirely. "Fiendishly addictive," says The Guardian."
