INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER PRIZE WINNER OF FRANCE'S FIRST NOVEL AWARD




One of the most daring, provocative, and unnervingly intimate thrillers I've read in years. Few writers besides Ruth Rendell and Patricia Highsmith can evoke domestic unease with such sangfroid; fewer still can make it such delirious fun.




A. J. Finn, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Woman in the Window, has said, "What a wonderfully tense, obsessive, enveloping novel - almost like a feminist, introspective spin on Fatal Attraction!"




Ventura's deftly spun debut is a sharply observed dissection of marriage that will haunt you for days. Virginia Feito has said, "In this wry, psychologically complex debut, a meticulously manicured wife is obsessed with her husband. For the past 13 years, she's made a science of meeting his needs, putting them before her own or even their children's. Her love is a stranglehold; something's gotta give."




The winner of France's First Novel Prize, this riveting emotional thriller requires serious willpower to not devour in a single sitting.




Oprah Daily has said, "From the outside, she has an enviable life: a successful career, stunning looks, a beautiful house in the suburbs, two healthy children, and most importantly, an ideal husband. After fifteen years together, she is still besotted with him. But she's never quite sure that her passion is reciprocated."




Determined to keep their relationship perfect, she meticulously prepares for every encounter they have, always taking care to make her actions seem effortless. She watches him attentively, charting every mistake and punishing him accordingly to help him improve. And she tests him - setting traps to make sure that he still loves her just as much as he did when they first met.




Until one day, she realizes she may have gone too far.
