Description
A darkly comic, unsettling novel of vengeance, fractured identity, and suburban respectability, this early work follows a troubled, shape-shifting woman whose return threatens to expose the secrets beneath an apparently ordinary London neighborhood. As old grievances resurface, domestic routines give way to manipulation, obsession, and mounting menace. With sharply observed social satire and a surreal, psychologically charged style, the novel explores the destructive power of memory and the unstable boundaries between victim and aggressor.
