Combining the dark twists of The Silent Patient with the unsettling beauty of The Vegetarian , a tense, gripping, and wholly original psychological tale of a woman with a secret admirer--who is hiding secrets of her own. Beautiful, diligent, and passive, Hongmei is the perfect wife to Glen, an intelligent and caring college professor. But her quiet life in Northern California fractures when a mysterious person begins e-mailing her, pulling her into an enthralling and frightening game of cat-and-mouse. Who is stalking her? And how does this mysterious stranger know her deepest, darkest secrets? As Hongmei is forced to confront her own dark past in China, the facade of her idyllic life is laid bare. Increasingly desperate and self-destructive, her one hope is to turn the tables on her tormentor. Investigating the stalker's own secret history may irrevocably tear her marriage and her world apart--a risk she must take to regain control of her life.
