The #1 international bestseller reminiscent of After I'm Gone, Sister, Before I Go to Sleep, and The Silent Wife - an intricately plotted, thoroughly addictive thriller that introduces a major new voice in suspense fiction - a mesmerizing and powerful novel that will keep you guessing to the very end.
No one has ever guessed Emily's secret.
Will you?
A happy marriage. A beautiful family. A lovely home. So what makes Emily Coleman get up one morning and walk right out of her life - to start again as someone new?
Now, Emily has become Cat, working at a hip advertising agency in London and living on the edge with her inseparable new friend, Angel. Cat's buried any trace of her old self so well, no one knows how to find her. But she can't bury the past - or her own memories.
And soon, she'll have to face the truth of what she's done - a shocking revelation that may push her one step too far...
"Seskis expertly depicts the new life of a runaway wife, Emily Coleman, in her exciting if not groundbreaking first novel… a diverting read." - Publishers Weekly
"Debut novelist Seskis displays a keen sense of pacing ... and her backstories on Emily's family are vivid yet done with great economy. ...Seskis hooks readers from the outset while also spelling out the high emotional costs of abandoning loved ones. A skillfully done novel by a writer to watch." - Booklist
" Add this one to the growing Gone Girl subgenre, designed for readers who appreciate the journey and are willing to invest the time to reflect on its significance once the destination is reached." - Library Journal
"An evocative, skillful novel about the price of escape, and a very promising debut." - Kirkus
