Perverse desire, betrayal and shifting identity combine in this chilling contemporary novel.
Isobel Latimer, writer of carefully constructed moral tales, is trapped: by her need to be a good woman, by massive secret debt, and by the burden of literary reputation. Everyone wants a cut of her talent, her time or her money, but only she knows there's nothing left to give. In desperation, Isobel and her agent, Troy, conspire to create a shameless blockbuster with an author to match. Zelda is born.
Zelda can do everything that Isobel cannot. As a new champagne-fuelled celebrity, she embraces freedom with exhilarating joy. Isobel finds that when Zelda is in command the unspeakable is said, taboos are broken and desires are unleashed. Troy revels in the wildness, but Isobel senses menace behind the beautiful mask, and she longs for the safety of her husband and home. When she returns, the familiar has changed. She cannot get back . . .
Philippa Gregory has a history degree from the University of Sussex and a PhD in eighteenth-century literature from the University of Edinburgh. She is a fellow of Kingston University. She has been widely praised for her historical novels, including 'Earthly Joys' and 'Virgin Earth,'as well as her works of contemporary suspense. Philippa Gregory lives in Sussex with her family.
Acclaim for 'The Little House'
"This brilliant psychological chiller . . . is utterly, nail-nibblingly plausible. You will relish its explosive climax and be gripped through to its final, superb, double-twist finish"
DAILY MAIL
"Insidiously gripping"
INDEPENDENT
"This is Gregory at her most chillingly convincing. Sunday lunch with the in-laws will never be the same"
