by Yael van der Wouden
The first Dutch author to make the longlist. The story revolves around a house and Isobel who has lived in it since a child. The book is set in the early sixties but refers back to 20 years earlier when the family acquired the house. Isobel is very closed and possessive now that she lives alone. Her parents are dead and her brothers have left. Then one day her brother turns up with his new girlfriend Eva and leaves her to stay for a month. Isobel's life is about to change forever! Suspenseful, erotic tension and an ending I found surprising make this a really enjoyable book. 8/10
