{"product_id":"9780349018126","title":"The Vulnerables : 'As funny as it is painfully honest' (Paula Hawkins)","description":"\u003cp\u003eTHE PITCH-BLACK REDISCOVERED CLASSIC OF 2024 From the Booker-shortlisted author of Great Granny Webster, this twisted modern classic is perfect for fans of Shirley Jackson and Celia Dale. 'One of the greatest, darkest writers who ever lived' Virginia Feito'This chillingly profound story drips with classy darkness. . . a one-way descent into the abyss' Janice Hallett'A dark masterpiece' Camilla Grudova'I absolutely loved this . . . Creepy, atmospheric and dark as a village green at midnight' Alice Slater'A devastating investigation of neurosis, hysteria and cruelty' Observer'I read it with wide eyes and unsavoury glee' Sunday Times'Caroline Blackwood sits firmly alongside the greats like Shirley Jackson and Patricia Highsmith' Araminta Hall'Compulsive, cruel and brilliant' Daily Mail'Gimlet-eyed and masterful' Irish Independent ***She was dead even before I became aware of her existence . . .   A child has been abducted from a sleepy Kent village, her face plastered across the media.   As the crime unleashes a wave of hysteria, the claustrophobic world of Rowan Anderson and his inscrutable wife begins to disintegrate. Consumed by her macabre fixation, Cressida is determined to save their sickly daughter, Mary Rose, from the same fate - and perhaps even from Rowan himself.   With caustic wit and pitch-black brilliance, Caroline Blackwood creates a skin-crawling - and utterly compulsive - story of repressed violence, female rage, and maternal obsession.
