Tense. Emotional. Dark. I had to listen to the end because I could not abandon her. I was horrified, hopeless, angry. I wanted to murder him. I felt trapped. The writing was excellent, but it will be a while before I can read another of his books.

Thanh dao and her sister arrive in England thinking that they can have a better life than they have in Vietnam. However the reality of the situation is different. Thanh is brought to a small cottage that is surrounded by open fields and space but she’s trapped by Len and nobody knows that she’s there. Len is vile and keeps track of her ever move and is vicious towards her when things don’t go his way. She know she must leave for her daughters sake escape seems impossible but when things change drastically she enlists help to do so. This is harrowing at times but compelling at other points.
