WHAT DO WE HIDE INSIDE OURSELVES?

One night changes everything for Toby. He's always led a charmed life - until a brutal attack leaves him damaged and traumatised, unsure even of the person he used to be. He seeks refuge at his family's ancestral home, the Ivy House, filled with memories of wild-strawberry summers and teenage parties with his cousins.

But not long after Toby's arrival, a discovery is made: a skull, tucked neatly inside the old wych elm in the garden.

As detectives begin to close in, Toby is forced to examine everything he thought he knew about his family, his past, and himself.

A spellbinding book from a novelist who takes crime writing and turns it inside out, The Wych Elm asks what we become, and what we're capable of, if we no longer know who we are.

Recenzii

A truly great writer
The Wych Elm is her best novel yet
Lyrical, suspenseful, unpredictable
My favourite novel of last year
Terrific - terrifying, amazing, and the prose is incandescent
A masterpiece
The finest crime writer around right now
One of the most compulsive psychological mysteries since Donna Tartt's The Secret History...impossible to put down
The Wych Elm should cement French's place in the first rank of great literary novelists
Her storytelling skills are incredible
Gripping and suspenseful, with more twists than a rollercoaster, The Wych Elm is a magnificent novel
French offers a masterclass in unreliability . . . dissolving the boundaries between genre and literary fiction
Her best book. Really, it is not a crime novel: as ever, Tana's scope is so much broader than that. It's a book about identity, childhood, luck and family...I absolutely loved it.
Inspires cultic devotion in readers...most crime fiction is diverting; French's is consuming
A brilliant examination of male privilege and family secrets
A darkly addictive story of family secrets
Tana French's writing is lyrical but sharp, her eye for detail exquisite, her storytelling skills incredible - I need to read her backlist right away!
Another one of her rich psychological thrillers that will work its way under your skin
French is a poet of mood and a master builder of plots
A spectacularly talented writer
Tana French is one of those rare writers whose publication date you put in your diary. Her effortless verve, insight and black wit still glimmer from every page.
A hugely satisfying door-stopper of a novel, full of ambiguity, nuance and building menace. To read French is to experience that sense of utter disorientation that comes from the ground shifting constantly beneath your feet. Totally absorbing
Tana French's best and most intricately nuanced novel yet. . . Get ready for the whiplash brought on by its final twists and turns
A beautifully written, highly intelligent meditation on family relationships, the human mind, social politics and much more, often leavened with good jokes
