Cathy Wren, aged 37, lives alone in a small town, surviving on waitressing and piano teaching. Nursing her quiet, drab life, she keeps memories of her tumultuous past at bay—until one stray remnant of that old life knocks on her front door. Suddenly, Cathy is thrown into a weird and haphazard journey that turns into much more than a search for the little sister she hasn't seen for 10 years. This is a remarkable novel about life and death, fact and fiction, desire, envy, families, and forgiveness.

Een vrachtwagenchauffeur wordt geconfronteerd met een misdadige, verknipte man die gruwelijk wraak wil nemen op de jonge vrouw die met hem meelift.

Una principessa di sangue reale, appartenente alla famiglia reggente, racconta, sotto pseudonimo, l'agghiacciante condizione di reclusa in cui vive, lei e tutte le donne che la circondano. Il volto celato dietro il velo, la donna araba - anche se ricca e nobile - è ostaggio di carcerieri particolarmente zelanti nello svolgere il proprio lavoro: il padre, il marito, i figli maschi. Se dà alla luce una bambina, la nascita non viene nemmeno registrata, visto lo scarso valore delle femmine. Ed è soprattutto per amore delle figlie che "Sultana", una principessa araba di alto lignaggio, ha deciso, con questo libro, di raccontare la condizione femminile nel proprio paese. Un documento sconvolgente e sincero, capace di scuotere le coscienze.

Pierre Hotel. Room: name of Nicholas. 1 A.M. Tonight. Nick finished writing, closed the matchbook, took one look at the stranger across the crowded restaraunt, and thought to herself: You go too far.... "Wildly erotic...Nicolette Stallings is a wonderful character, as unpredictable as the plot." — Phillip Margolin, author of Gone, But Not Forgotten "One of the smartest, most engrossing novels to come our way since Scott Turow." — Dayton Daily News "Sizzlingly sexy from the first page." — Star Tribune, Minneapolis
