A Little Stranger Zusammenfassung

A Little Stranger Candia McWilliam

Daisy needs to hire a new nanny for her son; the efficient and capable Margaret Pride appears to be the perfect candidate. But as Daisy becomes increasingly removed from family life and the nanny becomes more prominent, oddities in Margaret's behaviour soon surface. Masterfully constructed and crackling with tension, A Little Stranger reveals that self-deception can be just as dangerous as the deceit of others.

A Little Stranger Bewertungen

'Compelling and unsettling ... McWilliam uses the conventions of middlebrow fiction to slice away its usual reassurance .. very funny too, a comedy of good manners in which each well-meaning utterance becomes a source of confusion and dismay' * Guardian *
'Sophisticated ... deadly accurate .. brilliantly contrived' * Times Literary Supplement *
'Poised, surprising, original .. McWilliam is a connoissuer of uneasiness' * London Review of Books *
'There is no doubt about the strength and originality of this talent' * Francis King, Spectator *
