'A novel of almost unbearable tension' Irish Times

Newly married and with a baby on the way, Jacy has everything she ever wanted. When she and her husband, Jed, go to visit his father, Dr Ash, in his remote cottage, Jacy feels loved and cherished - until she has a health scare which threatens her pregnancy. As the days pass, Jacy feels trapped in the cottage, her body under the looking glass. But are her fears founded or is this - as Dr Ash suggests - a stubborn refusal to take necessary precautions to protect her unborn child? The dense woods surrounding the cottage are full of dangers, but are the greater ones inside?
