The Push meets Behind Her Eyes in a gripping thriller that follows a woman convinced that someone is trying to make sure her pregnancy never happens...

I wanted this baby so badly.
But she may be the death of me...

Anna Alcott is desperate to have a family. But as she tries to balance her increasingly public life as an indie actress with a gruelling IVF regime, she starts to suspect that someone is going to great lengths to make sure that never happens. Crucial medicines are lost. Appointments are moved without her knowledge. She's sure she's being followed. And when she finally does get pregnant, someone breaks into her house and steals the ultrasound photograph of her baby. But despite everything she's gone through, not even her husband is willing to believe that someone is playing twisted games with her.

Then her doctors tell her she's lost the baby. Despite her grief, Anna ignores the grave-faced men lecturing her - because she can still feel the baby moving, can see the toil it's taking on her weakened body. Isolated in a remote snowbound town, Anna is sure that whoever has been following her is closing in. And as her symptoms become more terrifying, she can't help but wonder what exactly is growing inside her... and why no-one will listen when she says that something is horribly wrong.

Exploring visceral themes of loss, medical misogyny and female power, The Push meets The Silent Patient in this spellbindingly dark thriller.
Industry Reviews
'An absolute cracker of a read, one to be read by all women, everywhere. I could not put it down' - Lisa Hall, author of BETWEEN YOU AND ME

'What a thrilling, visceral read. So dark, and very fast paced' - Heather Darwent, author of THE THINGS WE DO TO OUR FRIENDS

'Delicate Condition is the feminist update to Rosemary's Baby we all needed-a twisty page-turner with unsettling details and crackling writing that's also a timely critique of sexism in modern medicine' - Andrea Bartz, author of WE WERE NEVER HERE

'Heartbreakingly visceral, eerie and intense, feeling, with every new turn of the page, what it's like for your body to no longer be your own. A spooky, devour-in-one-sitting story that's guaranteed to have everyone talking' - Leah Konen, author of ONE WHITE LIE

'Pitch black horror meets smart psychological thriller in this fantastically moreish debut. I devoured it, feeling simultaneously sick and thrilled. And that ending... just perfect' - SJI Holliday, author of THE DEATHS OF DECEMBER
