From Edgar Award nominee Debra Jo Immergut: a taut, twisting work of suspense about a woman haunted by her younger self.Abigail Willard first spots her from the back of a New York cab: the spitting image of Abby herself at age 22 - right down to the silver platforms and raspberry coat she wore as a young artist with a taste for wildness. But the real Abby is now 46, married with a corporate job and two kids. As the girl vanishes into a rainy night, Abby is left shaken. Was this merely a hallucinatory side-effect of working-mom stress? A message of sorts, sent to remind her of passions and dreams tossed aside? Or something more dangerous? As weeks go by, Abby continues to spot her double around her old New York haunts-and soon, despite her better instincts, Abby finds herself tailing her lookalike. She is dogged by a nagging suspicion that there is a deeper mystery to figure out, one rooted far in her past. All the while, Abby's life starts to slip from her control: her marriage hits major turbulence, her teenage son drifts into a radical movement that portends a dark coming era. When her elusive double presents her with a dangerous proposition, Abby must decide how much she values the life she's built, and how deeply she knows herself. You Again is an audaciously constructed novel, an unboxing of memory, desire, and regret-and an electrifying portrait of a woman hurtling toward the key crossroads of her life, where a secret lies buried like an undetonated bomb.

Miranda Greene planeaba morir en mayo de 1998 en el correccional de Milford Basin; New York. Le quedaban 52 años de cárcel por asesinato en segundo grado y sin libertad bajo fianza por un estúpido accidente que ni tan siquiera provocó. Pero le tocó un juez duro y era la hija de un excongresista. Tenía planeado ir a la consulta del psiquiatra y guardar pastillas durante semanas hasta tener la cantidad necesaria.Frank Lundquist es psiquiatra y ahora trabaja en la cárcel. Antes tenía una consulta privada en Manhattan que le iba muy bien y se había casado con la mujer que amaba; había aceptado que ella no quería tener hijos y todo cuanto ella deseara porque la amaba completamente. Lo ha perdido todo por un accidente terrible del que realmente no tenía culpa, aunque se siente culpable.Cuando Frank ve por primera vez a Miranda la reconoce enseguida. Ella, en cambio no. Miranda había ido a su instituto y él se había pasado años completamente enamorado de ella. Dentro de las paredes de la prisión, Miranda está desesperada, atormentada por los recuerdos de una tragedia de su infancia, enfrentada con un legado familiar de moral y decisiones políticas dudosas, e intentado aún liberarse del desastroso amor que le llevó a su caída. Y también está obcecadamente determinada a mantener cierto control sobre su destino. Frank empezará a convertirse en una poderosa esperanza de absolución y puede que de escape."Un ingenioso thriller psicológico que aúna lo mejor de Orange is the New Black y Perdida" Publishers Weekly. "Un certero e inteligente thriller con dos puntos de vista… Reclusa disuelve y reconstruye lo que sus personajes piensan que un prisionero debe a la prisión y lo que un médico debe a su paciente".New York Time Review of Books."Reclusa es una novela psicológicamente profunda, con dosis iguales de poder y dolor. Immergut explora las profundidades de la psique humana para revelar cómo la debilidad puede convertirse en obsesión y cómo un solo paso en falso puede hacer que la vida se desvíe del camino".Ivy Pochoda, autora de Visitation Street"Un ingenioso thriller psicológico a medio camino entre Orange is the new black y Perdida de Gillian Flynn".Publishers Weekly"El libro avanza hacia un final inesperado que cuestiona los conceptos de lo correcto y lo incorrecto (...). La corriente de la narrativa nunca se detiene, llevando al lector de la mano a lo largo de todo el camino. Immergut ha contado una interesantísima historia con personajes totalmente logrados, cuyos altibajos son muy convincentes".Kirkus Reviews
