Her - Tapa dura

"The ultimate frenemy thriller." "Now (UK)""

"Lane is brilliant at creating a sense of foreboding.... It's a little like being in the audience at a very sophisticated pantomime where the cast are decked out in chic black and the lives unravel in a sleek villa in Nice...with its own infinity pool. Unlike conventional thrillers, the perverse pleasure of this compelling novel is not a big reveal but the pin-sharp unpicking of personality." "Eithne Farry, "Sunday Express "(UK)""

"Lane excels at everyday detail. Emma's total absorption by motherhood is rendered with beautifully stinging observations." "Claire Allfree, "Metro "(UK)""

"A taut revenge drama.... Lane is a deft conjurer of menacing middle-class scenarios." "Patricia Nicol, "Independent "(UK)""

"Lane (Alys, Always) writes searingly about the strain of minding young children and the fears and frustration involved in parenting... the overall creepy factor is high-a tense read for fans of the intellectual psychological thriller." ""Library Journal"""

"A chilling novel of predator and prey." "More""

"If you're looking to jump-start the year with a page-turner, HER is your book.""" "Megan Angelo, "Glamour.com"""

"A small jewel of a suspense novel." "Sherryl Connelly, "Daily News"""

"Keeps the reader perpetually on edge." "Kevin Nance, "Chicago Tribune"""

"Summon[s] a true sense of erotic menace." "Megan O'Grady, "Vogue"""

You don't remember her--but she remembers you.

Two different women; two different worlds. On the face of it, Emma and Nina have very little in common. Isolated and exhausted by early motherhood, Emma finds her confidence is fading fast. Nina is sophisticated and assured, a successful artist who seems to have it all under control. And yet, when the two women meet, they are irresistibly drawn to each other. As the friendship develops, as Emma gratefully invites Nina into her life, it emerges that someone is playing games-and the stakes could not be higher.

What, exactly, does Nina see in Emma? What does she want? And how far will she go in pursuit of it?

A gripping novel about friendship and identity, about the wild hopes and worst fears of parenthood, about the small and easily forgotten moments that come to define a life, Her is unputdownable-compelling and hauntingly discomfiting.
