Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"Immediate, intense, gripping, taut, terrifying, moving, and brilliant." --Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Invisible Girl
"Brilliantly written...terrifying."--Ruth Ware, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One by One
A woman being held captive is willing to risk everything to save herself, her unborn child, and her captor's latest victim in this "intense, dark, and utterly chilling" (Jennifer Hillier, author of Jar of Hearts ) thriller in the tradition of Misery and Room .
He is her husband. She is his captive.
Her husband calls her Jane. That is not her name.
She lives in a small farm cottage, surrounded by vast, open fields. Everywhere she looks, there is space. But she is trapped. No one knows she is there. Visitors rarely come to the farm; if they do, she is never seen.
Her husband records her every movement during the day. If he doesn't like what he sees, she is punished.
For a long time, escape seemed impossible. But now, something has changed. She has a reason to live and a reason to fight. Now, she is watching him, and waiting...
First published in 2021 by Hodder & Stoughton, London.
"On an isolated farm in the United Kingdom, a woman is trapped by the monster who kidnapped her seven years ago. When she discovers she is pregnant, she resolves to protect her child no matter the cost, and starts to meticulously plan her escape. But when another woman is brought into the fold on the farm, her plans go awry. Can she save herself, her child, and this innocent woman at the same time? Or is she doomed to spend the remainder of her life captive on this farm?"-- Provided by publisher.
