From the author of the bestseller «THE ONLY ONE». A novel awarded the International Thriller Writers Awards. Have you ever been angry with your parents for intruding into your affairs? Or thought that you were helping your children while actually...
ruining their lives? This is what it sometimes leads to… It seems that Maggie's retribution is awful. It seems her guilt towards her daughter Nina is twice as terrible. Darkness has settled between them. Every two days, the women have dinner together. And then the daughter takes Maggie to the attic, to the «crow's nest», and chains her to the floor. This is retribution. The mother did what the daughter will never forgive her. Ne-ver. Let her rot to death in this dark room with deaf walls and unbreakable windows, with a heavy chain on her ankle. The daughter's hatred is that great. But there is something Nina does not know. And the mother will never tell her - even at the cost of her own life. For in their home, the truth is more dangerous than the lie… This is a wildly unsettling, heartbreaking thriller. It will consume you, shake your imagination, revealing ever more terrifying secrets. You will have to decide if any of the heroines deserve sympathy and who the real monster is.
