Dark, smart, strange, compelling' Harriet Lane, bestselling author of Her Overwhelmed by the huge success of her latest novel, exhausted and suffering from a crippling inability to write, Delphine meets L. L. embodies everything Delphine admires; sophisticated and unusually intuitive, she slowly but deliberately carves herself a niche in the writers life. However, as she makes herself indispensable to Delphine, the intensity of this unexpected friendship manifests itself in increasingly sinister ways. And as their lives become further entwined, L. begins to threaten Delphines identity and her safety.

An incredible true story of obsessive female friendship that grips until the very last mark on the very last page * Denise Mina, bestselling author of The Long Drop * A story that keeps the reader guessing until and beyond the very end ... A story of memory and friendship, a cracking page-turner and a journey into what the essence of fiction, and indeed autobiography, might be. Excellent * Nicholas Searle, author of The Good Liar, shortlisted for the 2016 CWA New Blood Dagger * In this captivating story of imprisonment Delphine de Vigan intelligently questions the place of the writer in our society of imitation * Le Figaro * This is an addictive read. Clever, compulsive and deft. De Vigan kept me guessing to the point where I even began to question the reality of the pages in my hand. Fantastic * Ann Morgan, author of Beside Myself * A wonderful literary trompe lceil: a book about friendship, writing and the boundary between reality and fantasy ... Dark, smart, strange, compelling * Harriet Lane, bestselling author of Her * An excellent novel: malign, Machiavellian, manipulative This new book is a struggle to put down * Parisien * A dizzying, psychoanalytical story within a story Fascinating * Le Point * Delphine de Vigan teases her readers desire for truth, and plays with the grey area between reality and fiction ... Highly convincing * Le Monde * Enthralling, not only brilliant in its construction chilling, worthy of the best thrillers but also it has a rare finesse in its constant questioning of the act of writing * Page * Delphine de Vigan is a sensation * Observer *
