Die Fortsetzung von Joël Dickers Bestseller „Die Wahrheit über den Fall Harry Quebert“ spielt 1999 und 2010. Sergeant Perry Gahalowood und Schriftsteller Marcus Goldman untersuchen den Mord an Alaska Sanders neu und entdecken belastende Details, die die damaligen Ereignisse in ein neues Licht rücken.
Before the nightmare, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary life. But when splintering, blood-soaked images start haunting her thoughts, Yeong-hye decides to purge her mind and renounce eating meat. In a country where societal mores are strictly obeyed, Yeong-hye's decision to embrace a more “plant-like” existence is a shocking act of subversion. And as her passive rebellion manifests in ever more extreme and frightening forms, scandal, abuse, and estrangement begin to send Yeong-hye spiraling deep into the spaces of her fantasy. In a complete metamorphosis of both mind and body, her now dangerous endeavor will take Yeong-hye—impossibly, ecstatically, tragically—far from her once-known self altogether.
