Maggie O' Farrell's second novel is an intense unnerving & passionate story of betrayal loss & love with all the frisson & psychological intensity of Rebecca. When Lily moves into Marcus's flat & plunges headlong into a relationship she must contend not merely with the disapproval of flatmate Aidan but with a more intangible hostile presence. Could it be that Sinead Marcus's ex is trying to communicate with her? When Lily begins to 'see' Sinead first about the flat & then on the streets of London she must question not merely her sanity but whether the man she loves is someone she can or indeed ought to live with at all.
