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

"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
