Against her better judgement she invites him in to her home.Surrey: Twenty-one-year-old Lily Monrose has only been married for three weeks. When her new husband fails to come home from work one night she is left stranded in a new country where she knows no one. Then the police tell her that her husband never existed.Two women, twenty years of secrets and a man who can’t remember lie at the heart of Lisa Jewell’s brilliant new novel.

 

Review : The Blurb sounded interesting but after reading an excerpt I felt that the writing style was detached from the emotional scene that was evolving. Adding the fact that the E-book !! was supposed to be purchased online at a price of $ 18.32 (which is actually 8$ MORE than the hardcover copy by the same well known seller – which is something I will never understand as this can only come from political but not from economical reasoning). I decided that this book is nothing for me.  A judgement on a book is not only based on the content but also on the price I need to pay for it because even if this book would be wonderful I can honestly not find it in my heart to recommend to pay so much money for an electronical file.
