'The feminist update to Rosemary's Baby we all needed' - ANDREA BARTZ'A timely, terrifying, heartfelt thriller' - CHRIS WHITAKERI wanted this baby so badly.But she may be the death of me...Anna Alcott is desperate to have a family. But as she tries to balance her increasingly public life as an indie actress with a gruelling IVF regime, she starts to suspect that someone is going to great lengths to make sure that never happens. Crucial medicines are lost. Appointments are moved without her knowledge. She's sure she's being followed. And when she finally does get pregnant, someone breaks into her house and steals the ultrasound photograph of her baby. But despite everything she's gone through, not even her husband is willing to believe that someone is playing twisted games with her.Then her doctors tell her she's lost the baby. Despite her grief, Anna ignores the grave-faced men lecturing her - because she can still feel the baby moving, can see the toll it's taking on her weakened body. Isolated in a remote snowbound town, Anna is sure that whoever has been following her is closing in on her and her unborn child. And as her symptoms become more terrifying, she can't help but wonder what exactly is growing inside her... and why no-one will listen when she says that something is horribly wrong.Exploring visceral themes of loss, medical misogyny and female power, The Push meets Behind Her Eyes in this spellbindingly dark thriller.'Perfectly terrifying and terrifyingly perfect' - JANICE HALLETT'A thrilling, visceral read' - HEATHER DARWENT

Recenzii
Tense, thrilling, and at times, darkly comedic. Ensnaring you from the very first page, it's a roller coaster of emotions
An indictment of how women are treated during pregnancy, dismissed and ignored, their pain overlooked
A really sinister, compelling read
Perfectly terrifying and terrifyingly perfect. I swear my fists are still clenched and I finished it two days ago. Expect stratospheric tension from page one, vivid imagery and language so evocative I shivered throughout. Seizes Rosemary's Baby by the throat and drags it into the 21st century
A timely, terrifying, heartfelt thriller. I devoured it in one sitting
An absolute cracker of a read, one to be read by all women, everywhere. I could not put it down
The most sinister pregnancy since Rosemary's Baby. This book will keep you on edge the entire time
Heartbreakingly visceral, eerie and intense, reading Delicate Condition is feeling, with every new turn of the page, what it's like for your body to no longer be your own. A spooky, devour-in-one-sitting story that's guaranteed to have everyone talking
You may think you know where this is heading, but you'd be wrong. Whip smart and enjoyably gruesome
Delicate Condition is the feminist update to Rosemary's Baby we all needed - a twisty page-turner with unsettling details and crackling writing that's also a timely critique of sexism in modern medicine
Dark visceral horror. Loved it
Pitch black horror meets smart psychological thriller in this fantastically moreish debut. I devoured it, feeling simultaneously sick and thrilled. And that ending... just perfect
Pacy, visceral and very very dark. I didn't want to put this one down
So many reader emotions, I didn't know who to trust; if anyone! Delicate Condition is a thriller, a horror, a mystery and it's lingering in my mind, an aftereffect of a chilling read!
