Summary
What would you do if your son became a stranger overnight?
Tired of their cramped London apartment, Aaron and Meera relocate to the idyllic village of Little Crake along with their two children, Noah and Uma. The new cottage looks out over the many miles of woodland beyond. It’s a far cry from their tiny flat and the perfect fresh start.
Until fifteen-year-old Noah wanders alone into the forest. For three days, a search party combs the woods. Aaron braces himself for the worst, convinced his son is lost forever. Until he finds Noah alive, hiding in the hollow of a tree. It feels like a second chance.
But why doesn’t Noah remember those three days in the woods? And why are there strange cuts slashed across his torso? Why did he cover himself in mud and hide away in an old oak tree?
Once a studious and gentle boy, Noah becomes a troublemaker at school. He withdraws from his family, sleepwalks at night, and creates eerie sketches of Dark Valley Forest. Aaron tells himself that Noah just needs time to readjust. He’ll soon be himself again. But Meera believes otherwise. This new version of Noah is harsh and cruel—a complete stranger.
A mother knows when something is wrong with her child. Aaron may be deluded, but she knows the boy who came back from the woods is not their son.

Not like her previous books
I love this author and was excited about a new book . This however left me disappointed. The music was annoying and the story kind of strange and not gripping .

Glad I stuck with it till the end
Despite the reviews, I'm becoming a massive fan of Sarah Denzil. This was a different kind of psychological thriller but it did get me thinking about the perils that a concoction of superstition and mental health can bring upon people. Interesting story. I look forward to discussing it at book club.

Not as good as her other novels
I didn’t enjoy this book as much as her other novels . It lacked the same thrilling aspect as her other stories and I found myself indifferent as to what journey the characters would take .

Excellent story
An interesting story, told well.
The dramatic music is totally unnecessary and spoiled the audio for me.
The story has drama and suspense enough.
An interesting way of telling a tale, very refreshing.
Excellent narrator.
I listened to the whole book in just 2 days as I was so engrossed.
