Description
Book SynopsisThe thrilling, hair-raising new novel from Herman Koch, the New York Times bestselling author of The Dinner and Summer House with Swimming Pool
Trade ReviewA riveting but disturbing literary thriller . . . Delicately told, in spare, haunting prose, there are echoes of Stephen King's Misery, but this is even more subtle, with a denouement to send shivers down the spine. * Daily Mail *
The strands come blackly and brilliantly together . . . The climax is unexpected and very pleasing. * Sunday Times *
Koch's literary thriller is one of exceptional ingenuity, with two equally compelling threads . . . An absolute page-turner. * Mail on Sunday *
Gripped from page one . . . I was on the edge of my sofa. * Grazia *
Herman Koch is rapidly becoming one of my favorite writers. His three novels, taken together, are like a killer EP where every track kicks ass. -- Stephen King
The calm, sour vigour with which Koch motors along during these verbal slashings is something to behold . . . Bold, provocative, regularly hilarious. * Irish Sunday Independent *
Compelling and strange * Lady *
