Description
All that glitters…
People would kill to have Faye Adelheim’s life. She lives in an ultra-swanky apartment in the most exclusive area of Stockholm, she has a gorgeous husband who gives her everything she’s ever wanted, and she has an adorable daughter who lights up her world. Faye’s life is perfect.
So how is it, then, that she now finds herself in a police station?
The truth is that Faye’s life is far from what it seems. The truth is that Faye isn’t even her real name. And now she’s been caught out. There’s no way she’s going to go down without a fight. The only question is – who will escape with their life?

Tim D, Reviewer
I wish to thank Camilla Läckberg, HarperCollins Publishers Australia and NetGalley for the advanced copy of The Gilded Cage in exchange for an honest review.
Set mostly in contemporary Stockholm, this story is narrated by the protagonist Faye von Essen who is intelligent, gifted and married to a controlling abusive partner. Faye is submissive in an attempt to appease her husband and sustain their marriage for her daughter’s security. The story is also set during Faye’s childhood; her father is also violent and abusive. In the second part of the novel, Faye finds her strength and her secrets begin to emerge.
This is an important work of literature portraying domestic violence is one of the most developed countries in the world; it is a call for gender equality and cultural change. It is the first book by Camilla Läckberg I have read, suspenseful and thrilling it kept me up late, totally captivated by the story. I’ve have enjoyed Scandinavian fiction in the past and I’m excited to read further books by this writer.
