When Alice Fancourt leaves her newborn daughter at home with
her husband for the first time since becoming a new mother,
she comes home to a horrifying discovery: her child has been
swapped with another baby. In near hysterics, Alice rushes
to call the police, but soon discovers that no one not even
her husband, David believes her. When the police are called
in, Detective Simon Waterhouse is drawn to the lovely Alice
but doubts her story and suspects that she is suffering from
postpartum depression.
Meanwhile, David is growing increasingly hostile and Alice
begins to fear that her baby's disappearance may be linked
to his previous wife's untimely death. Little Face is a
chilling look at the lengths to which a mother will go to
protect her child and is the remarkable debut of a hugely
talented writer.
