Sarah Water's trilogy of Victorian novels Tipping theVelvet, Affinity, and Fingersmith earned her legions of fans around the world, a number of awards, and a reputation as one of the most gifted of today's historical novelists.  With her most recent novel, The Night Watch, Waters made a "flawless" historical leap to the 1940s and delivered a tender and intricate story of relationships that garnered the most widespread acclaim of her career.  Now, in The Little Stranger, she returns to the fertile settings of Britain in the 1940s-and brings us a sinister tale of a haunted house that brims with the rich atmosphere and psychological complexity that have become hallmarks of her work.

One dusty postwar summer in his home in rural Warwickshire, Dr. Faraday, the son of a maid who has built a life of quiet respectability as a country physician, is called to a patient at lonely Hundreds Hall, Home to the Ayres family for more than two centuries, the once impressive and handsome Georgian house 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.
