Book summary

Six years after a brutal assault that left her physically and mentally damaged, Laurel Estabrook is going through photographs taken by a deceased homeless man and is shocked to discover a photograph of herself on a bicycle only hours before the attack. As she obsessively investigates the homeless man's life, from his childhood wealth to death-bed destitution, Laurel becomes increasingly psychologically unstable--perhaps this has something to do with her belief that believes she was born in "West Egg," the fictional home of Jay Gatsby. The mystery of THE DOUBLE BIND unfurls on multiple levels, and bestseller Chris Bohjalian keeps the reader in a state of bedevilment until the last shocking twist.

Media reviews

"Bohjalian produces his best and most complex fiction yet. Ultra-clever, and moving too." (starred review)
