Beschreibung:
Single mother Callie has come to rely heavily on her best friend Suzy. But Callie suspects Suzy's life isn't as simple as it seems. It's time she pulled away - going back to work is just the first step towards rediscovering her old confidence. So why does she keep putting off telling Suzy about her new job?
Suzy and Callie live close to each other on a typical cramped, anonymous London street. Neighbours seem to move in, and move on, before you have even learned their names. Callie's increased sense of alienation leads her to try to befriend a new resident on her street, Debs. But Debs is anxious, odd. You wouldn't trust her with your child - especially not if you knew anything about her past.
A brilliant and chilling evocation of modern life, The Playdate is a real talking-point book for mothers everywhere.

You leave your kids with a friend. Everyone does it. Until the day it goes wrong.
Die alleinziehende Mutter Callie lebt in einer Londoner Gegend, wo niemand den anderen kennt und Nachbarn so schnell ein- wie ausziehen. So ist sie sehr schnell bereit, sich mit der neu zugezogenen Debs anzufreunden. Was Callie nicht bemerkt: Debs ist sonderbar und ängstlich und man würde ihr ganz gewiss kein Kind anvertrauen, ganz besonders nicht, wenn man ihre Vergangenheit kennt.
