Meer over het boek
Two long stories, born from surprisingly fertile imaginations... In "The Arbutus," Ruth Rendell portrays an English family on vacation in Spain whose summer is marred by a mysterious and heartbreaking event. In a long flashback, the sister recalls the cursed stay: the exoticism of Mediterranean holidays intertwines with the bitterness of a fate forever marked by tragedy. Forever? Of course not, as Rendell reserves a series of twists for the end that are both subtle and skillful. This great mistress of suspense has invited a young talent, Helen Simpson, to appear alongside her in this volume. Simpson's story, "Flesh and Grass," immerses us in a macabre world populated by sinister characters: a chef with strange recipes, a perverse doctor engaged in dubious machinations, a little girl murdered in the forest... Woven with strange atmospheres and an unusual style, this text takes us into a decidedly unsettling universe.
