I was certainly captured by the very first line of the novel. Simple, strange and gripping. It mirrors her trail of thoughts as she fights an inner battle about the multitude of possibilities from sharing a place with her husband's murderer.

From the get go, you put your very own detective cap on and we are already told and made to feel uncertainty over the verdict.

The neighbour adds that pop of colour to the otherwise dystopian scenes. Even her normal actions are made to mimic survival methods "weaponising the fruit."

The psychological thriller makes you picture the world in that state and question the survival of the world where there are captives.

The concept is incredibly original and readers are straight away set up for a web of deceit and corruption. Hannah second guesses all her usual tedious actions and even speech towards the captive. We are left wondering who changes in this new approach at justice? I am immersed.
