  How You See Me examines the terrifying power of the mind to deceive, not only others but - most destructively of all - ourselves. 'I've probably lied to you. That's habit. I lie to everyone about my family…' Daniel Laird has returned to Norfolk after a nine-year absence to care for his ailing artist father. He describes his uneasy homecoming in a series of letters to his sister, his boss, and to Alice, his one true love. But it is not until he discovers a hidden cache of his father's paintings that the truth begins to surface about why he left all those years ago.
