Yes, My Darling Daughter
Author(s): Margaret Leroy
"Every once in a blue moon, a masterful writer dives into gothic waters and emerges with a novel that"--"like Daphne du Maurier's "Rebecca," Minette Walters's "The Breaker," and Donna Tartt's "The Little Friend--"simultaneously celebrates and transcends the tradition. Welcome Margaret Leroy to the clan." What's the matter with Sylvie? Such a pretty girl. Four years old; well loved by her young mother, Grace. But there's something . . . off about the child. Her deathly fear of water; night terrors; most of all, her fixation with a photo of an Irish seaside town called Coldharbour. ""Sylvie, tell me about your picture. Why's it so special, sweetheart?" My heart is racing, but I try to make my voice quite calm." ""That's my seaside, Grace." Very matter-of-fact, as though this should be obvious. "I lived there, Grace. Before."" Haunted and haunting, "Yes, My Darling Daughter" is a wonderfully original, deliciously suspenseful mystery, "a haunting book and a tantalizing read" ("The Providence Journal").
