The Woman Upstairs by Claire Messud
The stunning new novel from Claire Messud, author of The Emperor's Children, a top ten NYT bestseller
Messud is a breathtaking writer.. a beautiful - and beautifully sustained - howl of fresh, fierce, furious rage. * Independent on Sunday *
Comedy, pathos, sadness: nothing seems beyond her. Her new book has all this-and more. The Woman Upstairs is not a pretty read, but that is precisely what makes it so hard to put down. * The Economist *
Messud's prose is a delight ... addictive, memorable, intense -- Lionel Shriver * Financial Times *
This is a faultless, suspenseful novel * Mail on Sunday *
An unnerving portrait of obsession that makes you nervous about your mousiest of neighbours -- Lionel Shriver * New Statesman *
