FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF REBECCA

'What a magnificent thriller this is' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

'A good original novel, well tinged with nightmare' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

He was my shadow, or I was his, and we were bound to each other through eternity.

Two men - one English, one French - meet by chance in a railway station. Their resemblance is uncanny, and they spend the night talking and drinking together. But when John wakes the next morning that he realises his French companion has stolen his identity and disappeared. Forced to step into his doppelganger's shoes, John finds himself entangled in a web of secrets: as owner of a chateau, director of a failing business, head of a fractious family, and master of nothing.

'A sublime and gothic genius. She is in a league of her own' CAMILLA GRUDOVA

'Gripping . . . It has great literary sophistication and an alienated post-war male conscience at its core' LISA APPIGNANESI

Industry Reviews

A good original novel, well tinged with nightmare - Times Literary Supplement

What a magnificent thriller this is - NY Times Book Review

No other popular writer has so triumphantly defied classification . . . She satisfied all the questionable criteria of popular fiction, and yet satisfied the exacting requirements of "real literature", something very few novelists ever do

She wrote exciting plots, she was highly skilled at arousing suspense, and she was, too, a writer of fearless originality - Guardian
