The Night Guest
One morning, Ruth wakes thinking a tiger has been in her seaside house. Later that day, a formidable woman called Frida arrives, looking as if she's blown in from the sea. In fact, she's come to care for Ruth.
Frida and the tiger: both are here to stay, and neither is what they seem. Which of them can Ruth trust? And as memories of her childhood in Fiji press upon her with increasing urgency, can she even trust herself?
The Night Guest by Fiona McFarlane is a gripping tale of mystery and self-discovery, set against the backdrop of a seemingly idyllic coastal landscape.
