An old woman has lived alone for decades. Now she starts to fear those around her. A stranger seems to watch her from across the street. She hears heated talk from a flat she thinks is empty. Even the way an electrician acts makes her doubt him. Then she learns of a plan her long-dead husband made. He arranged for her to move to a luxury care home. The home lies deep in a forest. Life there grows stranger still.

Iain Reid's psychological thriller leaves readers unsure what to trust. The threats may be real, or they may stem from her fears. She tells her own story, drawing readers into her frail mind. Memories and nightmares fill her thoughts. The book blends dread with care for those near life's end. Reid uses a spare style and holds back. This leaves room for more than one way to read events.

Reid drew on his grandmother's life for the novel. This edition brings the English work We Spread into Romanian. Ludovic-Stefan Skultety translated it. It forms part of the Byblos series.
