'Brilliant and unforgettable' Karen Russell 'Mind-bending and soul-altering' Jessamine Chan 'An unputdownable book with a haunting twist' Angie Kim 'Mesmerising' Publisher's Weekly 'An exhilarating and riveting must-read' Kirkus Starred Review 'Heart-expanding . . . inquisitive, brilliantly-crafted**' Florence Knapp** 'Subtle, eerie and profoundly moving' Amanda Mason WHAT IF YOU COULD REMEMBER EVERYTHING, EXCEPT THE DAY YOU DISAPPEARED? A young woman, Jane O., arrives in a psychiatrist's office. She's been suffering a series of worrying episodes: amnesia, premonitions, hallucinations and an inexplicable sense of dread. But as the psychiatrist struggles to solve the mystery of what is happening in Jane's mind, she suddenly goes missing. When she is found a day later, unconscious in a park, she has no memory of what has happened to her. Are Jane's strange experiences related to the overwhelm of single motherhood, or long-buried trauma from her past? Why is she having visions of a young man who died twenty years ago, who warns her of disaster ahead? Jane's symptoms will lead her psychiatrist to question everything he once thought he knew . . . Profound and beautifully written, THE STRANGE CASE OF JANE O. is a speculative mystery about memory, identity and fate, a mesmerising story about the bonds of love between a mother and child, a man and a woman, and the haunting, unexplained mysteries of the human mind. This one is tough to shake' Publishers Weekly starred review 'Harrowing, riveting, profoundly moving and beautifully written . . . this book is stunning' Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven 'A captivating, deeply psychological novel . . . I couldn't put it down' Lisa Ballantyne, author of The Guilty One 'Beautiful and devastating' Red 'A mesmerising read' Psychologies 'Thought-provoking and profound' Cosmopolitan 'Lyrical and beguiling' Observer 'This is a profound novel, and a deeply moving one' Robin Black 'Powerful and moving . . . written with symphonic sweep' New York Times 'Imaginative, disturbing and ultimately spellbinding' Vogue
