Product Description
How far would you go for the ones you love?
Unfolding across ten extraordinary years, DAHLIA tells the spellbinding story of Jack and Dahlia Donner-and the startling transformation of two people pushed beyond the brink of devotion.
Jack Donner is a young man adrift when he first meets his future wife. Immediately, he is struck by her charm, boldness, and almost unsettling beauty. With her, he believes he can escape the shadows of his past and start anew.
Dahlia is unlike anyone in the world. Despite harbouring an earth-shattering secret, she is determined to build the life of her and Jack's dreams. One way, or another.
When the two are confronted by a threat that changes everything, the limits of unconditional love are put to the ultimate, bloody test.
Crackling with caustic humour, sensuality, and horror-in a style evocative of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl, Stephen King's Carrie, and Ottessa Moshfegh's razor-edged work-DAHLIA dares readers to venture to the darkest of places, in hopes of making it back into the blinding light of day.
This is not a love story. This is a story about love.
