Her obsessions devour her. She is helpless to stop them...
Adele has a seemingly enviable life. She is a respected journalist, living in a flawless Paris apartment with her surgeon husband and their young son. But beneath the veneer of 'having it all', Adele is bored. She begins to orchestrate her life around one-night stands and extramarital affairs, arriving late to work and lying to her husband about where she's been, until her compulsions threaten to consume her altogether.
From the bestselling author of Lullaby, the prizewinning debut novel about all our attempts to discover who we are - deep down - and what we actually want.
