I'm taken aback. Amazed. and Out of Words to say. This was the most frustratingly un-put-downable book I've ever read. Girl fresh out of prison and unable to find a job takes a live-in housemaid job. The lady who hired her was sweet and wonderful; the husband was too, and only the gardener warned her in almost unintelligible English....
Danger. Leave. Go away.
Things started getting weird right away but the housemaid took them in stride and did her best to persist because...parole. The suspense just didn't stop--until--
Can't say. Just be warned there are some wildly headwrenching plot twists in here. You won't be prepared for them, so don't try.
One thing the author might have done differently is told us certain facts early on. We wouldn't have recognized them as clues back then. When she reveals them near the end, it's AHA! Wow! But if she'd revealed them earlier, it would have been more like, OH FREAKING AMAZING--OF COURSE! That's why and I should have guessed it!
And that's all I can say without spoilers.
