My husband was not a monster. No matter what they say…

The day my husband, Michael, stepped in front of a lorry after being questioned by the police, my world fell apart. He was devoted to me and our six-year-old daughter. But they’d connected him to the disappearance of a young mother from our tiny village.

Now I stand at Michael’s funeral, clutching my little girl’s hand, with tears in my eyes as I insist to all our friends that he died an innocent man. Yet the questions have started, and nothing I say will stop them digging for the truth.

But none of them can read the secrets in my heart, or know about the phone I found hidden in his toolbox…

I’m determined that my daughter will not remember her father as a monster. I will erase any hint of wrongdoing in this house whatever the cost.

Because to keep my daughter safe, the last thing I need is for people to start looking at me…

A completely gripping psychological thriller from the author of the number one bestseller The Marriage. If you like Gone Girl, The Girl on The Train and The Wife Between Us then you will love The Widow.

Можно ли спастись из тюрьмы, если тюрьма - твое собственное тело?

Бип, хис-с, бип, хис-с…

Это - все, что осталось от моей жизни: шипение аппарата для искусственной вентиляции легких, чтобы поддерживать жизнь в неподвижном теле.

Я - овощ. Списанная единица. Почти что труп.

Но есть кое-что, чего никто не знает: на самом деле я жива, просто заперта в своем теле, как в тюрьме. И все, что мне остается, - воспоминания.

О моей Эви; о том, как три года назад кто-то забрал ее у меня.

Я знаю, что эти воспоминания помогут найти ее. Они собираются воедино из множества мелких деталей, словно пазл.

Три года назад я совершила страшную ошибку. Три года назад я связалась не с тем, с кем следовало. Три года назад я страшно подвела своего близкого человека…

И теперь я обязана отыскать способ быть услышанной, чтобы помочь Эви найтись.

У британському місті Ноттінґем загинув безхатченко, та поліція цією справою не надто переймається. Кіран Вудз, допитливий школяр, який мріє стати журналістом і розслідувати злочини, береться самотужки з’ясувати, що ж трапилось насправді. І куди зникла його бабця, яка одного дня перестала навідуватись до них із мамою. Захоплива і водночас щемка розповідь, написана від імені особливого хлопчика, нікого не залишить байдужим. Вона про те, як нелегко буває жити у сім’ї, коли вітчим ображає маму, як почуваєшся, коли однокласники вважають тебе «не таким», і як це — бути бідним і втратити власну домівку... А ще — це історія про любов, яка здатна подолати всі труднощі і страхи. Історія, від якої — як не раз повторює сам головний герой — «тріскає серце». За цю книжку британська письменниця Кім Слейтер отримала десять літературних нагород.
