Printed Wrappers. Etat : As New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 1st edition, Uncorrected Page proof, fine. "The hothouse world rife with endless conflicts, envy, one-upmanship, and hidden secrets of an Edinburgh teenager's monstrous minutiae. To hear Kate Carr tell it, she's one lucky girl. True, she's growing up without the mother who vanished when she was a child, and she has to endure the stigma of having one leg shorter than the other. Her matchless talent for seeing herself as special, however, compensates for these minor deprivations. It's not just that she sees herself as a diamond in the dustheap of her Edinburgh private school; when she goes home each night, it's to a father she adores. As a charismatic preacher and a relentless charmer, Keith Carr is barely one step lower than the God he constantly invokes. His magical company is reward enough for the dull hours Kate's forced to spend with the likes of her dull admirer Hilary Cross, her archrival Fiona McPherson, or the lumpish Moira MacMurray. But when Lydia Morris arrives one day from Devon, Kate's world begins to change. To be sure, mousy Lydia doesn't pose any obvious challenge to Kate, who remains secure in her confidence that, unlike all the other girls she knows, she has It. But their friendship, which Evans (Freezing, 1998, etc.) limns with a lacerating exactness that captures scheming Kate's disdain, jealousy, possessiveness, fear, and plaintive affection for Lydia and everything she represents, will have you squirming. Readers wise in the ways of Evans?s master, Ruth Rendell, will see the climactic revelations coming long before they arrive. As in Rendell, though, the foreshadowing doesn't diminish the power of her evocation of Kate's world, but intensifies it, till you long for the release of the final conflagration. A wonderfully creepy dose for people who look back on their childhood with uncritical nostalgia. -- Kirkus Review. Book. N° de réf. du vendeur 005401

Very Good in Dustjacket. 1569471886. 262 pages. hardcover. keywords: Mystery England Women. DESCRIPTION - Kate Carr is the luckiest girl in the world. Everyone at school envies her because her father is such a charmer, the most mesmerising minister in Edinburgh. The clever new girl Lydia envies her most of all. Sometimes Kate wonders what it would be like to have a mother like Lydia's, or even a doting grandmother like stupid Moira's, but she knows what she has is better. She is special; she is Keith Carr's 'first fruit', his only child, his offering. He is training her up in his image, to have It - his special power, the ability to manipulate people. She practices what he's taught her with devastating effect. inventory #29720. N° de réf. du vendeur z29720
