What a haunting tale in the same way that "Room" by Emma Donoghue is. Written about similar situations, it follows the escape of mother, Lena, and her daughter, Hannah, who left behind her son as she flees her captor..but it's not that simple. The parents of the missing Lena, who wasn't a mother when she went missing, come to find someone who is not their Lena but are shocked when they see Hannah who is a mirror image of their own missing daughter when she was her age. The story only becomes more twisted. I highly recommended.

A woman who has been held captive in a cabin in the woods escapes with her 13 yo daughter, Hannah, who has an eerie ability to quote back verbatim the dictionary definition of just about anything. As the woman is running from the cabin she is hit by a car and ends up in the hospital. The daughter says her mother’s name is Lena – the name of a young woman who disappeared over 13 years ago. This starts a series of events trying to find out if the woman is really Lena, who abducted her, who is the dead man found in the cabin, whose child is Hannah and her brother Jonathan. The story starts with a bang and doesn’t let up for the entire novel. The tension is so taut that you keep thinking everything is going to snap and you will find some answers. But, instead as bits and pieces are revealed the story becomes more and more twisted and you just have to wait until the very end for everything to finally make sense.
