Thriller & suspense

'Chilling, enchanting and thought-provoking' IAN RANKIN

'Moving and brilliant' DAILY MAIL

'Blazes with anger and sorrow' MARIAN KEYES

Have you ever felt invisible?

Bernie Moon has given her life to other people: her husband, her son, her friends (who are these days, mostly online). At nineteen she was full of dreams and ambitions; now almost fifty, and going through the menopause, she's fading, fast. Heartbroken and hormonal, she often feels like she's losing her mind.

But when a young woman is murdered in a local park, it sparks a series of childhood memories in Bernie and with them, a talent that has lain dormant most of her adult life.

She promised herself she'd never think of it again. When she was a teenager, it almost destroyed her. But now she's older, could it be the power she's been missing?

Could it be the chance to, finally, make them look?

Reviews for Broken Light: The explosive and unforgettable new novel from the million copy bestselling author

"Praise for A Narrow Door: ""Joanne Harris's novels set at the tweedy British boarding school St. Oswald's embodied the spirit of a fierce chess match. The icy rage and ruthless revenge is turned up even higher in A Narrow Door."" --Sarah Weinman, New York Times Book Review ""A dark world of emotional complexity and betrayal, where twist follows twist and nothing is what it seems.""--Alex Michaelides, bestselling author of The Silent Patient ""Exhilarating.

This spectacular feat of storytelling will seduce the reader from page one."" -- ""Publishers Weekly (starred)"" ""This incendiary, brilliantly plotted thriller from Harris centers on 48-year-old Bernie Ingram's midlife crisis.
