Riassunto:

Published in ebook and paperback as Home

You'd recognise my mother's name if I told it to you. You'd wonder, briefly, where is she now? And didn't she have a daughter while she was missing?

And whatever happened to the little girl?

Helena's home is like anyone else's. With a husband and two daughters, and a job she enjoys. But no one knows the truth about her childhood.

Born into captivity and brought up in an isolated cabin until she was 12, Helena was raised to be a killer by the man who kept her captive - her own father.

Now he has escaped from prison and Helena knows, instinctively, that he is coming for her. To keep her family safe she must find him, before he finds her. Even if it means returning to the darkest parts of her past.

Even if she has to go home . . .

Recensione:

A constantly surprising novel which never takes the obvious route, it is emotionally and intellectually thrilling as well as tremendously exciting (SUNDAY EXPRESS)

Sensational . . . if you only read one thriller this year, make it this (CLARE MACKINTOSH)

Subtle, brilliant and mature . . . superb . . . as good as a thriller can be (NEW YORK TIMES)

This gorgeously written eerie suspense novel gave me chills... I loved it (KARIN SLAUGHTER)

Tension-filled thriller... Disturbing and atmospheric - it gripped me from the first page (WOMAN & HOME)

Unlike anything else I've read. Haunting and unputdownable (LAURA MARSHALL)

Although there are shades of Emma Donahue's Room here, Dionne explores more thoroughly the relationship between captor and captive, the heavy anchoring of a familial bond and the exploitation of childhood innocence... Riveting (EVENING STANDARD)

Oh, such a wonderful book... I am completely blown away. Just mesmerising (ALEX MARWOOD)

Troubling, sinuous and powerfully told, you won't be able to stop turning the pages (MEGAN ABBOTT)

I don't use the word "brilliant" often, but no other adjective feels adequate to describe this amazing novel . . . an exceptional achievement (DAVID MORRELL)
