A taut, complex psychological thriller from the author of
The Doctor’s Wife
Like The Doctor’s
Wife — which The Boston Globe called “a
compelling read”—Somebody Else’s Daughter is a
literary page-turner peopled with fascinating and disturbing
characters. In the idyllic Berkshires, at the prestigious Pioneer
School, there are dark secrets that threaten to come to
light. Willa Golding, a student, has been brought up by her
adoptive parents in elegant prosperity, but they have fled a
mysterious and shameful past. Her biological father, a
failing writer and former drug addict, needs to see the
daughter he abandoned, and so he gains a teaching position
at the school. A feminist sculptor initiates a reckless
affair, the Pioneer students live in a world to which adults
turn a blind eye, and the headmaster’s wife is busy keeping
her husband’s current indiscretions well hidden. Building to
a breathtaking collision between two fathers—biological and
adoptive, past and present— Somebody Else’s Daughter
is both a suspenseful thriller and a probing study of richly
conflicted characters in emotional turmoil.
