Overview

PUDISTE ESCAPAR UNA VEZ, PERO NO PODRÁS ESCAPAR SIEMPRE.

UN ÉXITO INTERNACIONAL: LA NUEVA REVELACIÓN DEL SUSPENSE PSICOLÓGICO.

«Una obra maestra perfecta.» - Sunday Express Review

«No me conocéis, aunque habréis visto mi cara. En los primeros retratos machacaron con píxeles nuestra imagen hasta la cintura; incluso nuestro pelo era demasiado característico para mostrarlo. Sin embargo, cuando la noticia y sus guardianes perdieron interés, resultó fácil localizarnos en los recovecos más sombríos de internet.»

Alexandra, una exitosa abogada afincada en Nueva York, recibe la noticia de que su madre, muerta en la cárcel, la ha nombrado albacea de su testamento. Aunque nadie en su entorno lo sabe, la protagonista fue años atrás la Chica Uno, la única que logró escapar para pedir ayuda de la casa de los horrores donde sus padres tenían prisioneros a sus seis hijos. Ahora, Alexandra deberá ponerse en contacto con sus hermanos, cada uno de los cuales ha crecido con una familia adoptiva diferente, incluido su extraño hermano Ethan, que ha convertido en un lucrativo negocio de conferencias la pesadilla que vivieron de niños.

She thought she had escaped her past. But there are some things you can’t outrun.

Lex Gracie doesn't want to think about her family. She doesn't want to think about growing up in her parents' House of Horrors. And she doesn't want to think about her identity as Girl A: the girl who escaped, the eldest sister who freed her older brother and four younger siblings. It's been easy enough to avoid her parents--her father never made it out of the House of Horrors he created, and her mother spent the rest of her life behind bars. But when her mother dies in prison and leaves Lex and her siblings the family home, she can't run from her past any longer. Together with her sister, Evie, Lex intends to turn the home into a force for good. But first she must come to terms with her siblings--and with the childhood they shared.

What begins as a propulsive tale of escape and survival becomes a gripping psychological family story about the shifting alliances and betrayals of sibling relationships--about the secrets our siblings keep, from themselves and each other. Who have each of these siblings become? How do their memories defy or galvanize Lex's own? As Lex pins each sibling down to agree to her family's final act, she discovers how potent the spell of their shared family mythology is, and who among them remains in its thrall and who has truly broken free.

For readers of Room and Sharp Objects, an absorbing and psychologically immersive novel about a young girl who escapes captivity–but not the secrets that shadow the rest of her life.
