Yes My Darling Daughter: A Novel

Every once in a blue moon a masterful writer dives into gothic waters and emerges with a novel that―like Daphne du Mauriers Rebecca Minette Walterss The Breaker and Donna Tartts The Little Friend―simultaneously celebrates and transcends the tradition. Welcome Margaret Leroy to the clan.. Whats the matter with Sylvie?. Such a pretty girl. Four years old; well loved by her young mother Grace. But theres 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. Whys it so special sweetheart? My heart is racing but I try to make my voice quite calm.. Thats 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).
