What to expect

'The feminist update to Rosemary's Baby we all needed' - ANDREA BARTZ

I wanted this baby so badly.
But she may be the death of me...

Anna Alcott is desperate to have a family. But as she tries to balance her increasingly public life as an indie actress with a gruelling IVF regime, she starts to suspect that someone is going to great lengths to make sure that never happens. Crucial medicines are lost and appointments get moved without her knowledge. And when she finally does get pregnant, someone breaks into her house and steals the ultrasound photograph of her baby. But despite everything she's gone through, not even her husband is willing to believe that someone is playing twisted games with her.

Then her doctor tells her she's lost the baby. Despite her grief, Anna ignores the grave-faced men lecturing her about her own body - because she can still feel the baby moving. Miraculously the pregnancy continues, but it takes a terrible toll on Anna's body. As her symptoms become more horrifying, she can't help but wonder what
exactly is growing inside her... and why no-one will listen when she says that something is terribly wrong.

The Push meets The Silent Patient in this gripping thriller of obsession, loss, and the lengths we go to protect our children...
