An unsettling, psychologically challenging novel about a woman plagued by her horrific past comes from Joyce Carol Oates, a literary legend and the author of Blonde, which is currently a blockbuster movie. Abby used to have a recurring nightmare as a child in which she was lost in a field filled with human bones. Abby, who is now an adult, believes she has overcome her problems until the night before her wedding, when the terrifying dream reappears and compels her to face the sinister truths she is hiding from her future husband, Willem. Less than 24 hours after exchanging vows, Abby ventures out into traffic the following day. Willem is attempting to discover whether this was an unintentional accident or a deliberate dive as his wife lies in a hospital bed.
