Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Hancock gives us another dark, compelling story which is rich in London atmosphere and convincing psychological insights. The story cuts to the heart of our middle-class preoccupations and shows how warped our human values can become when insecurity sets in. The plot twists and turns between the viewpoints of Moroccan maid Mona, and her employer Dora. It soon becomes clear that this not just a battle between two different cultures, or between rich and poor. The two women are engaged in a battle between life and death. The story is wholly convincing from page one, right to its disturbing conclusion. --Kate Rhodes author of Crossbones Yard

'Brilliantly written and totally gripping. I loved it' --S J Watson, author of Before I Go to Sleep

'An impressive debut from a writer we're certain to hear more about . . . Beautifully worked and with a sharp eye for the menace in the commonplace' --Daily Mail

Reseña del editor:

A middle class woman at her wits' end. A struggling migrant worker with few options for survival. When tensions boil over, who will be the first to snap? Will it be Theodora, finally breaking under the pressure? Or Mona, desperate to find a way out?
