Identity: a novel - Softcover

What is it about the woman who lives opposite her that obsesses Beth? And why does she seek revenge for her own wrecked life? A maze of psychiatric institutions and social workers finally place her back in the community, in isolation. In a series of flashbacks, Beth reviews some of the events in her life and tries to find a solution to her loneliness. But things take a fatal turn. Fitzgerald cleverly blends elements of a traditional thriller with the lives of women under pressure. 'A controlled explosion of a novel' - Sally Vincent, New Society. 'Mind-blowing' - Women's World Magazine 'a psychic thriller fit for our times...all too believable' - Fay Weldon
