Are Louise's fears the simple product of sleep deprivation, or is there really something sinister about the respectable-seeming schoolmistress? Without spilling a drop of blood, Celia Fremlin's classic psychological thriller transforms everyday events and settings into an atmosphere of sheer terror. "Britain's equivalent to Patricia Highsmith ... her novels are domestic, subtle, penetrating--and quite horribly chilling."--Andrew Taylor, bestselling Diamond Dagger-winning author
Autorenporträt
Celia Fremlin (1914-2009) read classics and philosophy at Oxford's Somerville College. Her WWII experiences with the Mass Observation Project influenced her first book, War Factory, which reflected the attitudes of plant workers at a Wiltshire-based radar equipment factory. Fremlin wrote 16 novels in the course of four decades, in addition to a book of poetry and three volumes of collected stories. Her novel The Hours Before Dawn won the Edgar Award in 1960.
