INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
PRIZE WINNER OF FRANCE''S FIRST NOVEL AWARD
''One of the most daring, provocative, unnervingly intimate thrillers I''ve read in years. Few writers besides Ruth Rendell and Patricia Highsmith can evoke domestic unease with such sangfroid; fewer still can make it such delirious fun'' A. J. Finn, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
''What a wonderfully tense, obsessive, enveloping novel - almost like a feminist, introspective spin on Fatal Attraction! Ventura''s deftly spun debut is a sharply observed dissection of marriage that will haunt you for days'' Virgina Feito
''In this wry, psychologically complex debut, a meticulously manicured wife is obsessed with her husband. For the past 13 years, she''s made a science of meeting his needs, putting them before her own or even their children''s. Her love is a stranglehold; something''s gotta give. The winner of France''
