This prize-winning suspense thriller asks how well you can know the people around you. Odeta's life is dull, running her father's grocery store in a remote Albanian village. So when an enigmatic stranger appears, promising her an exciting career in London, she jumps at the opportunity. Odeta's life is about to change, but not in the way she expected... Kate, a journalist who lives in London, has a seemingly perfect life. But beneath the surface nothing is perfect. On a visit to her home village, Kate is forced to confront a secret from her past. But it soon becomes clear that nothing is as it seems, and danger is much closer to home than she could have ever imagined. What connects Kate and Odeta? And can you ever really know your neighbours?
