The Woman in the Window by A. J Finn
A twisting, dramatic Hitchcockian thriller about an agoraphobic woman who thinks she saw a crime in a neighbouring house is one of the decade’s most anticipated debuts, published in forty-one languages worldwide and in development as a significant picture from Fox.
If it’s truly happening, it isn’t paranoia. Anna Fox is a recluse in her New York City apartment who lives alone and is unable to leave. She spends her day watching old movies, drinking wine (maybe too much), thinking back on happier times, and spying on her neighbours.
