A contemporary psychological thriller in the style of Ruth Rendell, from one of today`s most versatile & compelling storytellers. It was easy for Elizabeth. She married the man she loved, bore him two children & made a home for him which was the envy of their friends. It was harder for Ruth. She married Elizabeth`s son & then found that, somehow, she could never quite measure up! Isolation, deceit & betrayal fill the gaps between the two individual women & between their different worlds. In this complex thriller, Philippa Gregory deploys all her insight into what women want & what women fear, as Ruth confronts the shifting borders of her own sanity. Laying bare the comfortable conventions of rural Engl&, this spine-tingling novel pulses with suspense until the whiplash double-twist of the denouement.
