POSTCARDS 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.
