The novel opens in the early aughts: two ten-year-olds, Alison and Rachel, have a frightening encounter with the \"Mad Bird Woman\" who lives down the road. As the narrative progresses through time, the novel envelops others who are connected to the girls: Alison's mother, a has-been singer, competing on a hit reality TV show; Rachel's university mentor confronting her late husband's disastrously obsessive search for a German film he saw as a child; a young police constable investigating the seemingly accidental and unrelated deaths of two stand-up comedians; the ludicrously wealthy family who hire Rachel as a nanny--under whose immense London mansion Rachel will discover a dark and terrifying secret. Psychological insight, social commentary, vicious satire, and even surrealist horror are combined in this highly accomplished work to hold up a revealing, disquieting mirror to the world we live in today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Coe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53094050234592,"sku":"9780451493361","price":46.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/51dx9YZRwcL.jpg?v=1781647516","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/number-11","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
