Any Sarah Waters fans out there? I just found out via a fictionwise email that her latest novel, "The Little Stranger", will be available as an eBook. It will be out on April 30, but available for preorder now. I've been waiting for this book since I first heard Waters announce it last year. I'm so glad it's out as an eBook. This is one I'd gladly be plunking down money for. She's a very talented writer.
Here's the blurb about her latest novel from the
Sarah Waters site:
Quote:
In a dusty post-war summer in rural Warwickshire, a doctor is called to a patient at lonely Hundreds Hall. Home to the Ayres family for over two centuries, the Georgian house, once grand and handsome, is now in decline, its masonry crumbling, its gardens choked with weeds, the clock in its stable yard permanently fixed at twenty to nine. Its owners – mother, son and daughter – are struggling to keep pace with a changing society, as well as with conflicts of their own.
But are the Ayreses haunted by something more sinister than a dying way of life? Little does Dr Faraday know how closely, and how terrifyingly, their story is about to become entwined with his.
Prepare yourself. From this wonderful writer who continues to astonish us, now comes a chilling ghost story.
