Description
In this masterfully crafted novel, a young woman's dangerous fantasy ignites a series of events that blur the lines between life and death. Set against the backdrop of a seemingly idyllic English countryside, the story delves into the unsettling question of whether evil is born or made, exploring the profound impact of neglect and abuse. As a naive obsession takes root, it threatens to unravel the lives of all involved, leading to a suspenseful exploration of desire, deception, and the darkness that can lie beneath the surface of ordinary lives. William Trevor's signature compassion and keen insight into the human psyche are on full display in this compelling narrative of love, loss, and the chilling consequences of unchecked ambition.
