The House of Stairs by Barbara Vine
Lizzie narrates this tightly woven, beautifully written tale of intricate relationships, friendships and murder. She is under threat of a fatal hereditary disease which she will escape - if it does not strike her down by the age of forty. How would one live one's life? A dark, complex, and totally enthralling book.
(Sandra Lee - bwl 4 July 2000 )
