Samenvatting

***LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN FICTION***

'An extraordinary and dazzlingly original work from one of our most gifted and interesting writers' (Emily St. John Mandel, author of The Glass Hotel). The Need, which finds a mother of two young children grappling with the dualities of motherhood after confronting a masked intruder in her home, is 'like nothing you've ever read before'in a good way' (People).

When Molly, home alone with her two young children, hears footsteps in the living room, she tries to convince herself it's the sleep deprivation. She's been hearing things these days. Startling at loud noises. Imagining the worst-case scenario. It's what mothers do, she knows.

But then the footsteps come again, and she catches a glimpse of movement.

Suddenly Molly finds herself face-to-face with an intruder who knows far too much about her and her family. As she attempts to protect those she loves most, Molly must also acknowledge her own frailty. Molly slips down an existential rabbit hole where she must confront the dualities of motherhood: the ecstasy and the dread; the languor and the ferocity; the banality and the transcendence as the book hurtles toward a mind-bending conclusion.

In The Need, Helen Phillips has created a subversive, speculative thriller that comes to life through blazing, arresting prose and gorgeous, haunting imagery. "Brilliant' ( Entertainment Weekly), 'grotesque and lovely' ( The New York Times Book Review, Editor's Choice), and 'wildly captivating' ( O, The Oprah Magazine), The Need is a glorious celebration of the bizarre and beautiful nature of our everyday lives and 'showcases an extraordinary writer at her electrifying best' ( Publishers Weekly, starred review).
