From the #1 internationally bestselling author of "Five Days "and "The Blue Hour" comes an unforgettable novel about a woman who seemingly has it all, until the man she trusted the most threatens to take it all away. "About an hour after I met Tony Hobbs, he saved my life." Thirty-seven-year-old American journalist Sally Goodchild quite literally married her hero. Both foreign correspondents, both on assignment in Cairo, they quickly fell in love and settled into domestic life in London. From the outset, Sally s relationship with both Tony and his hometown was an uneasy one as she found both to be far more unfamiliar than imagined. But her adjustment problems are soon overshadowed by a troubled pregnancy. When she goes into premature labor, there are doubts whether her child will survive unscathed. And then, out of nowhere, Sally is hit by an appalling postpartum depression a descent into a temporary, but very personal hell, which even sees her articulating a homicidal thought against her baby. However, when she does manage to extricate herself from this desperate state, she finds herself in a fresh new nightmare, as she discovers that the man she thought knew her better than anyone loved her more than anyone now considers her an unfit mother and wants to bar her from ever seeing her child again."

Every time I read a book by Douglas Kennedy, I wind up scratching my head. The dialogue is always, always pretentious and unrealistic. Who talks like that? Nobody I know. But the story is sometimes decent. This one is about an American woman who meets and marries an Englishman and finds herself suffering from post-partum depression about giving birth. A custody battle ensues. It wasn‘t great, but it wasn‘t horrible.
