The Daughter: A Novel
Autor Jane Shemilten Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 mar 2015
Jenny is a successful family doctor, the mother of three great teenagers, married to a celebrated neurosurgeon.
But when her youngest child, fifteen-year-old Naomi, doesn’t come home after her school play, Jenny’s seemingly ideal life begins to crumble. The authorities launch a nationwide search with no success. Naomi has vanished, and her family is broken.
As the months pass, the worst-case scenarios—kidnapping, murder—seem less plausible. The trail has gone cold. Yet for a desperate Jenny, the search has barely begun. More than a year after her daughter’s disappearance, she’s still digging for answers—and what she finds disturbs her. Everyone she’s trusted, everyone she thought she knew, has been keeping secrets, especially Naomi. Piecing together the traces her daughter left behind, Jenny discovers a very different Naomi from the girl she thought she’d raised.

A mother driven to the brink by uncertainty . . .
A family that was never quite as perfect as it seemed.
Jenny is a successful family doctor, the mother of three teenagers, married to her loving husband, Ted, a neurosurgeon. But when her youngest, fifteen-year-old Naomi, doesn't come home after her school play, the seemingly ideal life Jenny has built begins to crumble. The authorities launch an investigation, but Naomi has vanished, and her family is broken.
As the months pass, the trail goes cold. Yet for a desperate Jenny, the search has barely begun. More than a year later, she's still digging for answers—and what she finds disturbs her. Everyone she thought she knew has been keeping secrets, especially Naomi. Piecing together the traces her daughter left behind, Jenny discovers a very different Naomi from the girl she thought she'd raised.
Jenny must uncover the whole truth about her daughter—a twisting, painful journey into the past that will lead to an almost unthinkable revelation . . .

Recenzii
“It’s every mother’s nightmare: the disappearance of a child. But in The Daughter, what appears to be a simple abduction soon turns into something far more complex and baffling. Jane Shemilt builds layer upon layer of tension in a thriller you won’t be able to put down.” — Tess Gerritsen, bestselling author of Last to Die
“Shemilt injects a great deal of suspense into her narrative in both time frames, even as her fluid prose eloquently captures a mother’s grief and painful journey to self-awareness.” — Booklist
“Jenny is a strong believable character…[her] journey is a memorable one.” — Publishers Weekly
