About the book
Gone Girl meets Room in this page-turning thriller from one of Germany’s hottest new talents.
A windowless shack in the woods. Lena’s life and that of her two children follows the rules set by their captor, the father: Meals, bathroom visits, study time are strictly scheduled and meticulously observed. He protects his family from the dangers lurking in the outside world and makes sure that his children will always have a mother to look after them.
One day Lena manages to flee – but the nightmare continues. It seems as if her tormentor wants to get back what belongs to him. And then there is the question whether she really is the woman called ‘Lena’, who disappeared without a trace 14 years ago. The police and Lena’s family are all desperately trying to piece together a puzzle which doesn’t seem to fit.

Win two tickets to Megan Phelps-Roper in conversation with Louis Theroux
On Tuesday 12th November, 19:00 at St. James’s Church, (197 Piccadilly, London, W1J 9LL) Megan Phelps-Roper, who left the controversial Westboro Baptist Church back in November 2012, will be joining visiting London to discuss her inspirational memoir Unfollow: A Journey from Hatred to Hope.
Megan was raised in the Westboro Baptist Church – the aggressively homophobic and anti-Semitic religious sect who rejoice at AIDS and natural disasters. From childhood to her early twenties, Megan participated in the Church’s notorious picketing campaign daily. Then, in November 2012 at the age of twenty-six, Megan left the church, her close-knit family, and her life behind.
The church was the subject of Louis Theroux’s riveting and widely-watched BBC documentary ‘The Most Hated Family in America’, and has been featured most recently on Louis’ third visit back to Kansas. Megan and Louis will be returning to this discussion, as he comes to interview Megan about her new memoir.
This event will also include a book signing with Megan.
