Pudgy, plain, and newly divorced, Margot feels simultaneously invisible and entirely exposed, all her vulnerabilities on shameful display. She has a vague memory of having had friends or at least a social circle, but those easy pleasures now feel entirely beyond her grasp. Unable to muster much of a protest, she allows herself to be bundled off for a weekend in London, where she is — astonishingly — taken up by a thrillingly bohemian, artsy crowd and the irresistibly glamorous and powerfully sexual photographer at their center.

No fool, Margot understands she’s being used, even if she doesn’t understand exactly how or why. And though readers will imagine they know what lies in wait for Margot, the conclusion of this award-winning thriller will surprise…everybody.

“Excellent, fluid writing and sharp dialogue…both a thriller and an always interesting portrait of a woman groping her way into the light” — Tangled Web
