Notes From Your Bookseller

Fiona Maye is a renowned, fiercely intelligent High Court Judge whose professional success contradicts her rapidly crumbling marriage. When her husband’s sudden departure leaves her questioning the life she’s built for herself, she throws herself into the case of a teen boy whose parents are refusing a life-saving medical treatment due to their religious beliefs. This truly heart-wrenching and powerful novel is not your typical courtroom drama, but a deeply sensitive and compelling character driven story you won’t want to miss.

A brilliant, emotionally wrenching novel from the Booker Prize winner and bestselling author of Atonement about a leading High Court judge who must resolve an urgent case—as well as her crumbling marriage.
