Penumbra

To the outside world, Bella Strukome has the perfect urbane life. Beautiful and talented, with a devoted husband, she is the envy of people she's never even met. But the tragedy that decimated her thirteen years ago still casts its shadow. It’s the middle of a stifling London summer when insidious events begin to puncture Nick and Bella’s seamless existence. They must face a nebulous enemy - someone that knows everything about their lives and appears to be one step ahead - testing their relationship to its limits. When the stunning and vivacious Sarah moves into the upstairs apartment, Bella’s self-perceived failures are pulled sharply into focus. Sarah is everything Bella isn’t: sophisticated, autonomous and without inhibition. A friendship between the two women ensues with terrifying consequences, and Bella learns how brutally the past can infect the future.Penumbra is a dark urban thriller deconstructing the veneer of the perfect family, and the chilling lengths someone will go to reclaiming their lost years.
