By the writer of The Girl With All the Gifts. Someone like Me follows the stories of two people who seem, at first, to be quite separate from one another. Both are traumatised by their past. Liz, a woman with two children, is trying to move on from a violently abusive marriage. Fran, a teenager, was kidnapped when she was a child. Liz is a kind, gentle person, but she keeps having episodes in which she can't stop herself from behaving in reprehensible ways.
