If the timer ends, you keep running and get " Upstaged ". As a peripatetic abortion provider, Wicklund faced these terrorists head-on. Arriving for her first day at work, she was greeted by a dozen protesters who took her for an expectant mother, yelling "Mommy, don't kill your baby.

You'll die in there! Over the years, they tried to intercept Wicklund on her way to work; they sent her death threats; they leafleted her town with flyers that said "Your neighbour, Susan Wicklund, is a terrorist to the unborn. Wicklund took to carrying a pistol, wearing a bulletproof vest and employing a security guard.

This response wasn't disproportionate: Reading Wicklund's story, you can't help but marvel that she kept going. Her motivation was her own experience of an abortion in her early 20s, during which she found herself in a room full of sharp instruments, her feet in stirrups, encountering a doctor who "said nothing, didn't even tell me his name, asked no questions, and abruptly started to work".

By the time the procedure was over, Wicklund knew that "something terrible had been done to me. I felt abused and violated and beaten".

In this liminal world, where every character guards his or her secrets, most dangerous of all are the secrets protected and nurtured by women: The secrets of birth are more potent, and more deadly, than the secrets of death. Or perhaps, in the end, the two cannot be separated.

The novel is structured as a series of stories-within-stories, each opening up to reveal another narrative hidden inside it, echoing one another and mirroring the secrets Zummo builds into his wax artworks. Thomson's writing is pitch-perfect here. His prose is as clear and limpid as water, his ear finely attuned to the timbre of the period though mercifully free from archaisms, his characters drawn with subtlety and wit. The details are pin-sharp, but sparing enough not to weigh down the story.

Instead, there is a mesmerising quality to the unfolding of the narratives and a sense of ellipsis that keeps it hovering on the threshold of reality and calls to mind the dreamlike flavour of Alessandro Baricco's Silk. Secrecy is beautifully plotted, too; not a scene or an exchange wasted, as the characters' secret pasts are glimpsed in fragments and eventually woven together towards a fleeting resolution.

Thomson is a writer of exceptional skill, though his work has perhaps not been celebrated as widely as it deserves. Secrecy may be the book to change that. It is surely his finest novel to date: Topics Rupert Thomson The Observer.
