See What I Have Done - Softcover

Schmidt's portrayal of Lizzie is haunting and complex, a deeply psychological portrait that forces the reader to question their preconceptions about what women are capable of - for better and worse. Both disturbing and gripping, it is an outstanding debut novel about love, death and the lifelong repercussions of unresolved grief. (Observer)

[A] seminal voice of the future.... a dark, dense visceral ride that proves that this former librarian could be on course to become one of the breakout writers of the decade... Donna Tartt, make room (Stylist)

Eerie and compelling, Sarah Schmidt breathes such life into the terrible, twisted tale of Lizzie Borden and her family, she makes it impossible to look away (Paula Hawkins)

What a book - powerful, visceral and disturbing. I felt like one of the many flies on the walls of that unhappy, blood-drenched house (Cathy Rentzenbrink, author of THE LAST ACT OF LOVE)

An outstanding debut. Enviably brilliant and memorable (Hannah Beckerman)

Vivid, sultry and engrossing (Carys Bray)

A twisty, visceral, highly original novel that grips you from start to finish. An exceptional and stunning debut (Kate Hamer author of THE GIRL IN THE RED COAT)

See What I Have Done held me in its sweaty grasp to the very last pages... as deftly destabilising as the best of Margaret Atwood (Patrick Gale)

I loved See What I Have Done. So ominous and creepily compelling. Utterly macabre, in a good way. It is a novel that is close in style and sensibility to Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle (Sam Baker The Pool)

See What I Have Done is wonderful. Exquisitely-drawn characters, beautiful prose, a brilliant retelling of story. Every single sentence is perfect (Emma Flint author of LITTLE DEATHS)
