The Book of You by Claire Kendal (Harper, May 2014)
As a young woman serves on a jury for the trial of men
accused of kidnapping and raping another young woman, she struggles to escape
from a stalker she let into her life one evening. Now Clarissa finds herself always looking
over her shoulder in terror, but is made uncertain as she watches the trial
unfold, whether she will ever be able to stop the stalker and if anyone will
believe she is the unwilling recipient of the unwanted attention. Taught plotting blurs the line between
realities, causing Clarissa’s anxieties to rise as she struggles to get a grasp
on a sense of normalcy and be free of her mental captor once and for all. As events in Clarissa’s life threaten to
control her, they collide in an unexpected way, reshaping her future in
surprising ways.
