The Little Stranger – Sarah Waters

READ FOR BOOKERTHON

The Little Stranger is a ghost story set in a dilapidated mansion in Warwickshire, England in the 1940s. It features a country doctor who makes friends with an old gentry family of declining fortunes who own the old estate that is crumbling around them.

❚ “A very cleverly written ghost story … but is it a ghost story? Nothing is as it seems and with the tension gradually building between the two main characters and the strange happenings at the mansion, you are in for a stimulating read. One of my favourites.” – Jo

❚ “Love Victorian gothic stories, and love Sarah Waters so what a combination. I was captivated trying to work out what or who was behind the goings-on. Pleased that things weren’t all completely sewn up at the end and a little was left to the reader’s imagination.” – Rachel

❚ “And from me” – Suzy
