Imagine you're so exhausted that reality begins to blur. That's Louise's life in "The Hours Before Dawn." Fremlin brilliantly paints a portrait of a woman on the edge, and the additional layer of an unsettling houseguest nests a thriller within a domestic shell. If you relish narratives that explore the psyche under pressure, dressed in the dark fabric of the '50s, this book will grip you, offering little reprieve until its conclusion.
