The dark, twisty new domestic suspense that will leave you gasping - from the author of Cuckoo
Sophie Draper Volgorde van de boeken
Sophie Draper's debuutwerk won de Bath Novel Award in 2017 en vestigde haar als een meeslepende literaire stem. Haar schrijven duikt in de complexiteit van de menselijke psychologie en de ingewikkeldheden van relaties, vaak gesitueerd tegen levendig weergegeven achtergronden. Draper's proza kenmerkt zich door haar suggestieve taal en haar vermogen om lezers onder te dompelen in het innerlijke leven van haar personages. Er is grote verwachting voor haar aanstaande roman, die belooft haar kenmerkende stijl en thematische diepgang verder te verkennen.
