| 520 | |a Late on a summer's evening when they are thirty years old, husband and wife Edward and Isabel's home is invaded by a serial killer. The couple made it out shaken but alive; their relationship, however, never recovered. Decades later, the Invader--retired policeman Nigel Wood--has been caught, tried, and convicted, and Isabel and George, now in their 50s, are preparing to deliver victim statements before his sentencing. The story mostly unspools through Isabel's testimony, in which she recounts her and George's tumultuous marriage and addresses her assailant with all the emotion she no longer dares to share with her ex-husband. Her decision to publicly out herself as a victim of the Invader helped bring the killer to justice--and helped her find her voice as a writer--despite protestations from the fiercely private George. | ||
