If you love a good story, one well told, please read Ruth Rendell's books! This is a wonderful story, and I highly recommend it!
Mopsa, driven by a past scarred by madness and violence. Benet, stricken by the most grievous loss any woman can bear. Carol, trapped in a life of crushing drabness no lover can change. Three mothers joined by a single thread of terror, whirled into a spiral of kidnapping, murder, and a final, reckless affirmation of love.
One of my favorite Ruth Rendell books.
