An exhilarating tale of twisted desire, histories and homes, and the unexpected shape of revenge - for readers of Patricia Highsmith, Sarah Waters and Ian McEwan's Atonement.
It is fifteen years after the Second World War, and Isabel has built herself a solitary life of discipline and strict routine in her late mother's country home, with not a fork or a word out of place. But all is upended when her brother Louis delivers his graceless new girlfriend, Eva, at Isabel's doorstep - as a guest, there to stay for the season…
In the sweltering heat of summer, Isabel's desperate need for control reaches boiling point. What happens between the two women leads to a revelation which threatens to unravel all she has ever known.

But all is upended when her brother Louis delivers his graceless new girlfriend, Eva, at Isabel's doorstep-as a guest, there to stay for the season...
Eva is Isabel's antithesis: sleeps late, wakes late, walks loudly through the house and t

Condition: Bueno. : En el tranquilo paisaje de Overijssel, quince años después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Isabel lleva una vida solitaria y disciplinada en la casa de campo de su difunta madre. Sin embargo, su mundo se ve alterado cuando su hermano Louis llega con su nueva novia, Eva, quien se instala como invitada por toda la temporada. Eva, en contraste con la ordenada vida de Isabel, pronto despierta en ella una obsesión alimentada por la furia. A medida que objetos comienzan a desaparecer en la casa, las sospechas de Isabel se intensifican, transformando su deseo de orden en una infatuación que desenterrará secretos y revelaciones inesperadas. La guerra, al parecer, no ha terminado del todo, y ni Eva ni la casa son lo que aparentan.
