درباره این ای-کتاب

A woman is haunted by her younger self in this acclaimed thriller: “at once a mind-bending puzzle and a profound meditation on love, fate . . . and regret” (Kirkus, starred review).

Abigail Willard first spots her from a New York cab: the spitting image of Abby herself at age twenty-two—right down to the raspberry coat she wore as a young artist with a taste for wildness. But the real Abby is now forty-six and married, with a corporate job and two kids. As the girl vanishes into a rainy night, Abby is left shaken. Was this a hallucinatory side effect of working-mom stress? A sign sent to remind her of forgotten dreams? Or something else entirely?

As Abby continues to spot her double around her old New York haunts, she cannot resist the urge to follow her—obsessed with uncovering a mystery deep in her past. Meanwhile, Abby’s life starts to come apart: her marriage hits major turbulence, her teenage son drifts into a radical movement that portends a dark coming era. When her elusive double presents her with a dangerous proposition, Abby must decide how much she values the life she’s built, and how deeply she knows herself.
