Then one day a disturbing package arrives in the post...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe narrator of this story spends her free time in her loft. It is a retreat where she can draw undisturbed. It is also a retreat from her dull and dissatisfied husband, a man who sighs unhappily even when she sneezes. Their grown-up children are living independent lives and the house is very quiet. Her dreams are filled with domestic drudgery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe arrival of the parcel threatens her quiet equilibrium. It contains extracts from the narrator's diary, written twenty years before. They date back to a time when she was sent away by her husband to a remote cottage in a bid to 'cure' her from unexplained sudden deafness. More mysterious packages arrive. Who is sending them? And what did happened all those years ago in the forest?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'A thrilling novel... What gives this book its tremendous power? First the voice is charming, with a skittish beauty throughout... But there is also disarming honesty, and a lack of vanity, which appeals as only truth can’ John Self, Guardian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTRANSLATED BY AMANDA PRANTERA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45073858330803,"sku":"9781529953473","price":959.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/71bXzWjDtgL.jpg?v=1762881410","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/the-loft","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
