Black and white portrait of a smiling woman with long hair, wearing a leather jacket and a sweater, against a dark background.
“Beautifully written and deeply unsettling. Lucy Ashe takes a relationship we think we know - between patient and therapist - and turns it into an ambiguous dance of power and psychology, playing out against a pitch-perfect 1960s setting.”
— Abigail Dean, bestselling author of Girl A
“Crackling with tension and rife with ingenious plot twists, Ashe’s latest is an exploration of friendship, marriage, and female objectification, set against the backdrop of 1960s London. Nothing is as it seems in this absorbing psychological thriller—and you won’t be able to put it down.”
— Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Stolen Queen
