Inhaltsangabe

When Laura Cameron, a philosophy professor at a London university, is found dead in a bizarre echo of the Reeva Steenkamp case, the questions are myriad. Her friend and colleague, Esther Luck, is as shocked as everyone else.

But Esther knows more than she’s letting on. After two years battling ovarian cancer, her notions of what makes life worth living, of what her future holds, have changed utterly. Held in a tense web of intrigue between Laura’s widower Jack, her ex Michel, and her conventional family, Esther is given the chance of new life on borrowed time as the mystery of Laura’s death deepens.

What follows is an exploration of guilt, mortality, freedom, time and the brilliant and beautiful puzzle of being alive.
