By Will Dean
HER HUSBAND CALLS HER JANE
THAT IS NOT HER NAME
Blurb
She lives in a small farm cottage, surrounded by vast, open fields. Everywhere she looks, there is space. But she is trapped. No one knows how she got to the UK: no one knows she is there. Visitors rarely come to the farm; if they do, she is never seen.
Her husband records her every movement during the day. If he doesn't like what he sees, she is punished.
For a long time, escape seemed impossible. But now, something has changed. She has a reason to live and a reason to fight. Now, she is watching him, and waiting . . .
Review
This is a great thriller. The story is very simple but powerful. It reminded me of Room by Emma Doneghue.
Imagine being captive in an open prison. Freedom is only a few miles away across flat fields of green but you are restricted by strict routine, cameras watching constantly and a physical injury that limits your movement, living in a remote area, your only chance of escape is to speak to a person who stumbles across your property but will you be brave enough to speak?
This story is shocking and terrifying, and some of the chapters made me want to jump in the pages and drag Jane away from all the torture.
