Yvette a mother of 3 kids is constantly busy with loading the washing machine, packing the dishwasher and folding clothes. She thinks that she is like a hamster on a spinning wheel, doing the same boring tasks over and over again, yet she loves her husband and kids. One day the main water pipe in the backyard broke and in the choas arising from this, Yvette stumbled upon a UPS box that was left at her door. Although the address on it seems correct the name of the recipient is that of Mona, her next door neighbor. Yvette opens the box and discovers an infants dress inside. She takes the box to her crappy neighbor who they secretly called Cruella. Mona lures Yvette inside and starts telling her parts of her life story. Yvette's curiosity about Mona's story drives her to Mona on a daily basis. Eventually her curiosity endangers her and her family's lives and they found themselves in the hands of a mad Taliban professor who performed weird scientific tests upon his victims. I enjoy reading this and other books by Eva Pohler.
