Book ID/图书代码： 06140506B07283

English Summary/英文概要： Highly acclaimed for her hard-hitting, uncompromising and compelling writing, as well as her phenomenal Number 1 success, Martina Cole is the only author who dares to tell it like it is.
After the recent runaway success of THE TAKE, Martina’s new novel, CLOSE, is the story of the women who are left behind. Set in London’s dark and violent gangland, this novel tells the tale of a gutsy mother and her two sons, and their lives in and out of jail. With her characteristically haunting writing and visceral subject matter, Martina Cole, has written yet another compulsive bestseller.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Martina Cole無疑是一名擅長刻劃社會邊緣人掙紮求生的作者，故事描寫一個勇敢的母親，保護她兩個被構陷入獄的兒子的經過…刻畫入微，細緻動人，將人物形象與情感展現得淋漓盡致。(TT & Ruby)
