La chica que vive al final del camino

Rynn has just turned thirteen and is celebrating alone at home. Nobody knows much about her. It's just that she makes herself interesting, she doesn't talk to anyone, she cashes her father's traveler's checks and she avoids inopportune visitors. At her house, he does what she wants: she smokes cigarettes, indulges in Emily Dickinson's poetry, and establishes a peculiar friendship with a lame boy who claims to be a magician. It's been a while since her father has been seen in town, and the neighbors begin to ask questions: where is her father? What is hidden in that house that stands at the end of the road? Laird Koening offers us with this dark novel a masterpiece of American Gothic literature, which inspired the film starring a young Jodie Foster and Martin Sheen. A twist to the genre of the disturbing.
