Someone is Watching

In my opinion...

As I have never read a book by Joy Fielding before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. What I discovered in the course of this novel was an unsettling story that had me gripped, right until the final unexpected twist..

Fielding shows how a successful, feisty woman, Bailey, is horrifically damaged by a terrifying attack, making her a prisoner in her own home.

Bailey becomes a paranoid voyeur, watching the world through her symbolic binoculars, particularly her neighbours. Frequently acting in a crazy, yet understandable way, as everywhere she turns, she thinks she can see, hear or smell her attacker. I loved the techniques Fielding uses throughout the story, obsessively reminding us about the attack by the repetition of key phrases

This novel truly is an assault on all of the senses.
