More about the book
Claire, a young doctor, begins her day with an unsettling incident: her handbag is stolen. More distressing than the loss is the whirlwind of thoughts that ensue—who did it, and why her? A sense of latent threat begins to disrupt her orderly life. On the same day, an unknown patient arrives, and Claire thinks she understands the situation. However, Thomas is merely the honest finder of her bag. Claire and Thomas become lovers, even though he warns her that he is married. As their relationship develops, Claire becomes increasingly consumed by fantasies about the other woman. The story takes a surprising turn as the complexities of love and desire unfold, challenging Claire's perceptions and leading her to confront deeper truths about herself and her choices.
