Synopsis
Shortly after the close of World War II, Dr. Faraday arrives at Hundreds Hall, the ancestral home of the Ayres family. Ever since he was a child and his mother worked at the estate as a servant, Faraday secretly admired the Ayres family, and now he befriends the once-grand family as they struggle with their diminished fortune, the changing English society, and a series of strange accidents. Are these disasters natural, acts of sabotage, or the product of some supernatural force? In THE LITTLE STRANGER, which was shortlisted for the 2009 Man Booker Prize, acclaimed historical novelist Sarah Waters (TIPPING THE VELVET, THE NIGHT WATCH) turns her wonderful skills to a new genre: the ghost story.

Industry reviews
"Waters...reflects on the collapse of the British class system after WWII in a stunning haunted house tale whose ghosts are as horrifying as any in Shirley Jackson's THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE." (starred review)
 (03/30/2009)

"[With her] masterly, enthralling new novel,....Waters has managed to write a near-perfect gothic novel while at the same time confidently deploying the form into fresher territory. It's an astonishing performance, right down to the book's mournful and devastating final sentence."
 (05/05/2009)

"[A] marvelous and truly spooky historical novel by Sarah Waters....As a strange spot on an old and mouldering ceiling takes on a sinister appearance and bodies begin to accumulate, Waters's precise and chilling prose lets Dr. Faraday have his way with the story....[and he] comes alive..., ably serving as a guide between two worlds, or maybe more."
 (05/11/2009)

"A classic gothic page-turner....Prepare for serious chills on the beach with Sarah Waters' smart ghost story."
 (05/28/2009)

"[T]his novel...is beautifully constructed....Waters has rendered the old house magnificently in its fading glory, and its inhabitants sparkle like chandeliers in the damp, peeling rooms."
 (05/31/2009)

"I have just read the...historical novel by Sarah Waters, THE LITTEL STRANGER, and I felt myself back in the hands of a master storyteller."
 (07/19/2009)
