FROM BERLIN
It is the first day after
Christmas break, and Catriona Lydgate’s
daughter, Daisy, has been ill for weeks with a
mysterious flu. She seems better, but when Cat
tries to drop her off at the school gate, Daisy
wraps herself around Cat, too sick to go in. Cat
looks into her daughter’s eyes and is struck
with the fear that something is seriously wrong.
But her doctors can’t find anything. Cat
searches until she finds a doctor who takes her
seriously, who listens at length, who believes
this is a life-or-death matter.
From that moment,
Cat’s life becomes not one hell but two:
She lives in fear for her daughter’s life,
and at the same time her concern is turned against
her as her doctors and even her husband scrutinize
her every act. With almost unbearable suspense,
this novel takes readers into a nightmare where
love is suspect and concern turns into harm.
With
dazzling psychological insight and a profound
understanding of the power of a woman’s
love, Leroy has crafted an unforgettable novel
that touches the deepest core of human experience.
A New York Times Notable Book.
