Number 11: A novel

Synopsis

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--provided By Publisher.
