Helen Knightly has spent a lifetime trying to win the love of a mother who had none to spare. And as this electrifying novel opens, she steps over a boundary she never dreamt she would even approach. But while her act is almost unconscious, it also seems like the fulfilment of a lifetime's buried desire.
Over the next 24 hours, her life rushes in at her as she confronts the choices that have brought her to this crossroads.
Alice Sebold is the author of the multi-million-copy international bestseller The Lovely Bones and the memoir Lucky. She lives in California with her husband, Glen David Gold.
