A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'A strong debut thriller in which Jaskunas really gets into the head of a woman attacked and left for dead' (Sue Baker, Publishing News)

A shifty low-key thriller, half Spellbound, half Daphne du Maurier (Stewart O'Nan)

An unusual, very well-written novel, which draws the reader into the mind of the narrator. (Sunday Telegraph)

Hidden is not really like anything you've read before (Anna Quindlen)

A mesmerising first novel that wraps character-led drama around a thriller-like core. (Observer)

Jaskunas's descriptive prose has a hallucinatory and ominous vividness. (Independent on Sunday)

Magical ... provides both the racing pulse pleasure of a thriller and the quieter deep waters of character-driven literary fiction (The Washington Post)

'Hidden' is a page-turner, poignant and powerful. I was transfixed (Chris Bohjalian)

'Impressive ... a considerable achievement ... a narrative that is as original as it is well structured' (Natasha Cooper, TLS)

'An intriguing tale well-told' (Evening Mail)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Hidden reads like a waking dream. In the summer of 1996, Maggie Wilson is discovered lying unconscious at the foot of her bed in her remote farmhouse. She has been viciously assaulted, but she is still alive.

Six years later, Maggie still carries the scars of her attack, yet can feel safe in the knowledge that her attacker is behind bars. Following her devastating testimony, her husband, Nate, has been convicted and locked away. But suddenly another man confesses to the crime. Maggie's world is turned upside down again, and her life spirals out of control...
