The vet lives with his bedridden wife and shy daughter Alice in a sinister London suburb. He works constantly, captive to a strange private fury, and treats his family with brutality and contempt. After his wife's death, the vet takes up with a crass, needling woman who tries to refashion Alice in her own image. And yet as Alice retreats ever deeper into a dream world, she discovers an extraordinary secret power of her own.<br><br>Harrowing and haunting, like an unexpected cross between Flannery O'Connor and Stephen King, <i>The Vet's Daughter</i> is a story of outraged innocence that culminates in a scene of appalling triumph. 1060445 1959 The Vet's Daughter (New York Review Books Classics) total:40|5:15|4:18|3:7|2:0|1:0| 40 168 67 9 4 0 false false Mon Mar 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 19 21:19:00 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 02:03:44 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Apr 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 09:41:45 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 09:45:43 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Fri May 22 19:30:55 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 19:31:57 -0700 2009 5 1 false false Tue Jun 30 16:59:22 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 12:12:33 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Mar 14 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Feb 25 16:42:05 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 14 19:30:47 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 23 07:11:32 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 25 07:44:30 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 11 09:11:28 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 12 08:23:56 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 23:07:36 -0800 2009 Sun May 24 15:38:48 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Thu May 31 10:40:46 -0700 2007 Thu May 31 10:40:46 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Tue Nov 17 04:28:19 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 17 04:28:19 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 14 03:25:38 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 03:25:38 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 13 04:26:38 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 04:26:38 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Nov 12 04:58:09 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 04:58:09 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 28 17:34:24 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 17:34:24 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Oct 06 14:55:56 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 14:55:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 04 16:34:08 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 16:34:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 12 06:44:24 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 06:44:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 19 16:59:28 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 16:59:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 28 12:01:21 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 12:01:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 14 23:25:29 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 23:25:29 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1073750
