The vet lives with his bedridden wife and shy daughter Alice in a sinister London suburb. He works constantly, captive to a strange private fury, and treats his family with brutality and contempt. After his wife's death, the vet takes up with a crass, needling woman who tries to refashion Alice in her own image. And yet as Alice retreats ever deeper into a dream world, she discovers an extraordinary secret power of her own.Harrowing and haunting, like an unexpected cross between Flannery O'Connor and Stephen King, The Vet's Daughter is a story of outraged innocence that culminates in a scene of appalling triumph.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barbara Comyns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53094079660256,"sku":"9781590170298","price":74.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/716IlYcXFOL._SY522.jpg?v=1781647907","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/the-vets-daughter","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
