The Little Friend By Donna Tartt

‘In a literary age of diet and dearth, Tartt invites us to feast … the opening tragedy strikes a note of rich, flamboyant Southern Gothic that resonates throughout’
Independent

‘You will rarely have read better … Because of Tartt’s mastery of suspense, this book will grip readers all the way through to its bitter end’
Guardian

‘Tartt’s grip on this billowing plot is glue-like and her ability to evoke the Deep South of last century exceptional … excellent, enthralling’
Marie Claire, Book of the Month

‘Destined to become a special kind of classic – a book that precocious young readers pluck from their parents’ shelves and devour with surreptitious eagerness, thrilled to discover a writer who seems at once to read their minds and to offer up the sweet-and-sour fruits of exotic, forbidden knowledge’
New York Times Book Review
