Synopsis
An exhilarating tale of twisted desire, histories and homes, and the unexpected shape of revenge - for readers of Patricia Highsmith, Sarah Waters and Ian McEwan's Atonement
It's 1961 and the rural Dutch province of Overijssel is quiet. Bomb craters have been filled, buildings reconstructed, and the war is well and truly over. Living alone in her late mother's country home, Isabel's life is as it should be: led by routine and discipline. But all is upended when her brother Louis delivers his graceless new girlfriend, Eva, at Isabel's doorstep-as a guest, there to stay for the season...
Eva is Isabel's antithesis: sleeps late, wakes late, walks loudly through the house and touches things she shouldn't. In response Isabel develops a fury-fuelled obsession, and when things start disappearing around the house-a spoon, a knife, a bowl-Isabel' suspicions spiral out of control. In the sweltering peak of summer, Isabel's paranoia gives way to desire - leading to a discovery that unravels all Isabel has ever known. The war might not be well and truly over after all, and neither Eva - nor the house in which they live - are what they seem.

Condition: Good. : En el tranquilo paisaje de Overijssel, quince años después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Isabel lleva una vida solitaria y disciplinada en la casa de campo de su difunta madre. Sin embargo, su mundo se ve alterado cuando su hermano Louis llega con su nueva novia, Eva, quien se instala como invitada por toda la temporada. Eva, en contraste con la ordenada vida de Isabel, pronto despierta en ella una obsesión alimentada por la furia. A medida que objetos comienzan a desaparecer en la casa, las sospechas de Isabel se intensifican, transformando su deseo de orden en una infatuación que desenterrará secretos y revelaciones inesperadas. La guerra, al parecer, no ha terminado del todo, y ni Eva ni la casa son lo que aparentan.
