Cuckoo

Julia Crouch

4 Reviews

Rated 0

Fiction, Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

This is an utterly gripping psychological drama for reading groups, in the vein of Sophie Hannah.

A dark, juicy, deliciously unsettling, read-it-in-one-sitting psychological drama.

Rose has it all - the gorgeous children, the husband, the beautiful home. But then her best friend Polly comes to stay. Very soon, Rose's cosy world starts to fall apart at the seams - her baby falls dangerously ill, her husband is distracted - is Polly behind it all It appears that once you invite Polly into your home, it's very difficult to get her out again...
