家人之间无法坦诚，即是悲剧的开始。

“嫉妒”“谎话连篇”“控制欲太强”“疏于照顾”“流血事件”，等等，吉姆一一列出莎拉的罪状竟有八条之多，而且条条坐实。莎拉无法辩驳，因为吉姆斥责的完全是一个陌生的自己，一无是处，不配照顾女儿，更不配留在家中……

莎拉回不了家，萝宾出不了家门：这对孪生姐妹从小就迥然相异。

在阴冷潮湿的曼彻斯特没人知道萝宾的存在。至少她的邻居完全想不到，有一双眼睛像监控器一样，将他们各自不为人知的丑事和秘密尽收眼底。萝宾从不出门，除非是洪涝、火灾，或是事先约好的人，否则，她绝不开门。

可这次不同，敲门人坚持不懈。

门扉一开，失联多年的姐妹重逢，逃避多年的往事鱼贯而入。那些因脆弱而藏匿的秘密，终会在沉默中养精蓄锐，卷土重来，还以一击重拳……

Two sisters. A lifetime of secrets. One terrible reckoning.

The astonishing new thriller from the bestselling author of Try Not to Breathe. Get ready to be #hookedbyholly

Robin and Sarah weren't the closest of twins. They weren't even that similar. But they loved each other dearly. Until, in the cruellest of domestic twists, they were taken from one another.

Now, in her early 30s, Robin lives alone. Agoraphobic and suffering from panic attacks, she spends her days pacing the rooms of her house. The rest of the time she watches - watches the street, the houses, the neighbours. Until one day, she sees something she shouldn't...

And Sarah? Sarah got what she wanted - the good-looking man, the beautiful baby, the perfect home. But she's just been accused of the most terrible thing of all. She can't be around her new family until she has come to terms with something that happened a long time ago. And to do that, she needs to track down her twin sister.

But Sarah isn't the only person looking for Robin. As their paths intersect, something dangerous is set in motion, leading Robin and Sarah to fight for much more than their relationship...

[作者简介/Author]

霍莉·塞登（Holly Seddon）

英国新生代小说家。20岁开始就不断为报纸、网站及杂志撰稿，2016年因出版处女作《困在时间里的人》，轰动欧美出版圈。目前为全职作家，与丈夫和孩子生活在阿姆斯特丹。《我不存在的曼彻斯特》是她的第二部作品。

脆弱而渺小的普通人从来都是塞登小说里的主角。她说：“我希望我笔下的角色即便脆弱、受伤，依然为了自己所追求的东西毫无保留……一个头脑清晰、坚强不屈且完美无瑕的人在读者眼里其实并不受欢迎，反而会显得无聊乏味。”她的文笔仿若有疗愈之效，优美动情。情节设置巧妙，节奏一气呵成，会让人想到宝拉·霍金斯（《火车上的女孩》原著作者）和莉安·莫利亚提（《大小谎言》原著作者）等优秀的女作家。

塞登爱惜自己的文字，是个改稿狂魔。每一部作品出版前，她都会在保持故事内核不变的基础上孜孜不倦地翻新书稿，《困在时间里的人》写了13稿，而这本《我不存在的曼彻斯特》改无可改之后才终于确定。

Holly Seddon is the international bestselling author of TRY NOT TO BREATHE, DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES and LOVE WILL TEAR US APART. THE HIT LIST was published in August 2020 in ebook and audiobook. The paperback edition will be published in April 2021.

After growing up in the English countryside obsessed with music and books, Holly worked in London as a journalist and editor. She now lives in Amsterdam with her family and writes full time.
