An electrifying internal thriller about a mother and little princess pushed with their restrictions. Shelley and her mother have been menaced long enough. Excused from high-school, where a trio of bullies almost killed her, and still reeling from her parents' humiliating divorce, Shelley has retreated with her mother to the calm of Honeysuckle Cottage in the countryside. Considering their troubles are over, they enjoy their cozy, secure life of gardening and catalogs, hot chocolates, and Brahms by the flames. But on the eve of Shelley's 16th birthday, an unwelcome guest disturbs their peacefulness, then one inside Shelley snaps. What happens next will shatter almost all their certainties - about their protection, their moral convictions, the restrictions of what they are prepared to agree to, and what they're capable of. Debut novelist Gordon Reece has written a taut tale of gripping suspense, filled with action both comic and terrifying. Shelley is a spellbinding narrator, and her delectable mixture of wit, irony, and innocence changes the major current issue of bullying into an edge-of-your-seat report of fear, violence, family commitment, and the outside gets to of right and wrong.
