Discover Caroline Blackwood's darkly brilliant debut - a perfect rediscovered classic for fans of Shirley Jackson and Ottessa Moshfegh
'A bracingly nasty book... Splendid, dark, often very funny' - MEGAN NOLAN, Telegraph
A lavish Upper West Side apartment is the site of a familial cold war about to enter a phase of dangerous escalation.
J is a lonely woman without the luxury of being alone. Her husband has fled to Paris with his latest flame, leaving J with not only their own four-year-old daughter, Sally Ann, but the sulky, cake-mix addicted, thirteen-year-old Renata, a leftover from his previous marriage.
Writing letters in her head to imaginary friends, J delights in dwelling on the hapless Renata, who 'invites a kind of cruelty'. This is an invitation J fully intends to take up - and like so many stepmothers before her, she will find that wickedness, once indulged, is a difficult habit to kick. A mordant black splinter of a book, Caroline Blackwood's first novel is a testament to her razor-sharp mastery - and mockery - of the darkest depths of human feeling.
'Contained and ferocious' - TLS
'One of the greatest, darkest writers who ever lived' - VIRGINIA FEITO
'Witty, observant, clever' - Guardian
'The perfect book for people who find Joan Didion too even-keeled, Renata Adler too fair-minded... In its own way, it's a perfect novel... It deserves to be a cheeky summer hit' - LA REVIEW OF BOOKS
'Blackwood was in fact a writer of rare distinction, the author of wit-drenched books about the wages of class, women's inhumanity to women, bitchiness, greed, abjection, family, monsters' - NEW YORKER
'Caroline Blackwood sits firmly alongside the greats like Shirley Jackson and Patricia Highsmith. Her writing is smart, economical and as dark as night' - ARAMINTA HALL
