NIGHT VISITOR

Once again, Gillian White introduces us to a world in which the most innocent happenings turn into the stuff of nightmares. Rose lives a perfect life, with two perfect daughters and a perfect husband. But when confronted with agonizing doubt about her husband’s fidelity, Rose’s confidence in her perfect life begins to waver. Jilly Bond narrates the gruesome aspects of Rose’s early life with control and a whispering tone that mirrors the stresses and secrets of those years. Bond’s voice hardens as Rose justifies her decision to exact revenge. Chillingly, her narration flattens as Rose administers the most exacting of punishments, so focused on revenge that she fails to notice a lesbian stalker.
