Whatever You Love

Longlisted for the Orange Prize and Shortlisted for the Costa Novel Award, Louise Doughty's hauntingly beautiful investigation of love, loss, and revenge is a literary page-turner that will linger in your mind far after the cover closes. When a hit-and-run car crash claims Laura's daughter Betty, her life is turned upside down. But when the courts rule the death an accident, the lines dividing justice from punishment will blur as Laura embarks on her own quest for vengeance. Sure to captivate fans of Antoinette van Heugten and Sophie Hannah, as well as readers of Doughty's previous books Fires in the Dark and A Novel in a Year, among others, Whatever You Love is a poignant psychological story in which life's greatest questions hang in the balance.
