What if one of the protagonists of the story is also its chief antagonist? The Sentenced, a modern-day love story with a jarring twist, tells the tale of Maya, an alluring but naïve Indian woman, and Anton, an Italian Math professor. A lustful romance flourishes, much to the amusement of others and of Anton himself. Until the unexpected happens. There are two other characters in this story whose inputs are valuable. One is Nafisa, Maya’s friend and colleague at the university who refused to be swayed by Anton’s charm. The second is the dean of the University, whose mature love for Maya never found an expression. Each of these characters tells Maya’s story, and theirs. Was Maya a fool or an epitome of love itself? Is her passion justified or was she simply obsessed? Is Anton to blame or is he just human? Who, in this story, is really the one that is sentenced for life? These are answers that you will seek in this book. Whether the answers soothe, agitate or baffle, you cannot help but feel for them. For, we have all met a Maya or an Anton on our individual journeys of life.

New York Times bestselling author Joy Fielding delivers a riveting tale of suspense about a young woman caught in a nightmare somewhere between life and death. Beautiful, happily married, and the owner of a successful interior design business, Casey Marshall couldn't be more content with her life, until a car slams into her at almost fifty miles an hour, breaking nearly every bone in her body and plunging her into a coma. Lying in her hospital bed, Casey realizes that although she is unable to see or communicate, she can hear everything. She quickly discovers that her friends aren't necessarily the people she thought them to be -- and that her accident might not have been an accident at all. As she struggles to break free from her living death, she begins to wonder if what lies ahead could be even worse. "It is Fielding's ability to get under the skin of her characters -- and her readers -- that has made her such a dependably bestselling author," says the Calgary Herald.
