Sun Damage
Autor Sabine Durranten Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2023
The heat is intense. The secrets are stifling. And there is no escape.
In a tiny village in Provence, nine guests arrive at a luxury holiday home.
The visitors know each other well, or at least they think they do.
The only stranger among them is Lulu, the young woman catering their stay. But Lulu is not exactly the woman on the video the guests thought they’d hired. Turns out Lulu has plenty to hide—and nowhere to run as the heat rises.
In this seemingly idyllic getaway, under the scorching sun, loyalties will be tested, secrets exposed, and tensions pushed to the brink . . .
Dripping in intrigue, Sun Damage is a glamorous, witty, and totally riveting story chock full of secrets, lies and . . . more lies.

Recenzii
“A merciless portrayal of privileged English abroad leavens a tense and fiendish thriller. Yikes!” — Saga Magazine
"Sabine Durrant finely evokes Riviera beaches and provincial France, and gives us a character who grows more sympathetic as we admire the ingenuity with which she overcomes her perils. The climax is sheer genius . . . Ideal for a sun lounger at home or abroad.” — Audiobook of the Week, The Times
"Claustrophobic and suspenseful, with an engaging narrator and a satisfying twist: perfect poolside reading." — The Guardian UK
"The premise is so interesting and the characters so divisive that you'll want to keep reading." — Belfast Telegraph

"Escapist." — Hello Magazine
"Essential holiday reading material." — Closer Magazine
"Durrant is relentless with the suspense, presenting Ali's unreliable narrator status beautifully. . . It's superbly controlled, a novel that's obsidian dark under the blazing French sun." — Irish Independent

**THE EXPLOSIVE NEW THRILLER FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR**
The perfect holiday. The perfect crime...
When Ali has the chance to stay at a beautiful house in the south of France, she jumps at it.
But not everything is as it seems.
Surrounded by a group of wealthy friends, Ali blends expertly into the background.
She's watching them all.
And she isn't the only one interested.
The heat rises. The pool shimmers. Secrets are exposed.
And Ali must face up to the biggest lie of all: herself.

It was my final read during my recent holiday in Corfu and the descriptions of the searing heat of the French setting was exquisitely done, especially as the temperatures in Greece soared that week too.'' Lincs Reader, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
''SUN DAMAGE is the perfect holiday read, not least because of how it is set against the languid backdrop of beaches and cafés, market towns and lazy lunches at a house share (with a pool, of course) in the South of France. After so many years without such a getaway insight, I felt I was more transported with each page.'' Melanie Garrett, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
''Sabine Durrant never disappoints and her new novel SUN DAMAGE is excellent, with an atmospheric setting, believable characters and twisty plot. I found the little observations about human nature quite fascinating, almost like surreptitious people watching.'' Lovebooks, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'An exploration of vulnerability, trickery and cruel dishonesty ... the ending gives great satisfaction' LITERARY REVIEW
