Review
Praise for The Little Stranger:"A classic gothic page-turner."--USA Today"Waters, a master at stoking anticipation, withholds the truth about her ghost until the final pages...subtle, surprising, and deeply, deeply chilling."--NPR"Haunted by the spirits of Henry James and Edgar Allan Poe...Waters is just one turn of the screw away from 'The Fall of the House of Usher.' She keeps the lightening flashing in every gloomy chapter, and you can't help but gasp, 'It's alive!'"--The Washington Post "Sarah Waters is an excellent, evocative writer, and this is an incredibly gripping and readable novel."--The New York Times Book Review (Editor's Choice)"With its subtly orchestrated suspense and spot-on portrayal of English class divisions, Waters's literary ghost story delights."--People"A virtuoso writer...If you want a ghost story that creeps up your spine, The Little Stranger delivers."--The Seattle Times "A near-perfect gothic novel... It's an astonishing performance, right down to the book's mournful and devastating final sentence."-- Salon "Waters creates an atmosphere of quiet dread that's unnerving and compelling."--Time"Marvelous and truly spooky."--The Boston Globe"Rich with historic detail and slow, deliberate building toward the revelation of its secrets, [The Little Stranger] delights even as it leaves you unnerved."--The Miami Herald "Like the gloomy English weather, an air of impending doom lingers over every chapter of The Little Stranger...an up-all-night page-turner that provides a cogent dose of social commentary."--The Cleveland Plain Dealer

Blurbed by the likes of Stephen King for its exceptional creepiness, "The Little Stranger" will disappoint those who are looking for a page turner in the mold of the American master of Gothic horror. Yes, the novel has all the trappings of a standard haunted house thriller: a once-grand, remotely situated mansion; owners reduced to shabby gentility; things that inexplicably go bump in the night; violent disfigurements and mysterious deaths. But all this is only scaffolding for a meticulously thoughtful examination of a society emerging from a devastating war into economic and social upheaval - Britain in 1947. Add the indelible poison of the English class system and an apparently trustworthy narrator who turns out to be anything but, and you have a richly satisfying novel of substantial depth and genuine, open-ended mystery. I've not read Sarah Waters' other books, but on the evidence of this one she's an uncommonly gifted storyteller who's not afraid to take her time or to challenge the reader to figure out what she's really up to. "The Little Stranger" is too smart to be merely "chilling." It doesn't leave you with the satisfaction of "understanding," of seeing all the loose ends tidied up. If it has a fault, it's the fault of mercilessness. It's a haunted house story in the best sense - one that doesn't just rattle a crumbling mansion, but one you won't get out of your mind.
Well written novel about a working man stiff who is a doctor to the local countryside and gentry. Through a home visit he becomes involved with the Ayer's Family the local scions who have fallen on hard times.Analysts and readers will debate whether this is a Ghost, Poltergeist or Psychological novel. The atmosphere is adequately Gothic and yet despite the fine writing the story spirals to shoulder shrugging conclusion.In the end heartbreak and death seem the destiny of all involved. Ms. Waters offers a keen observation on England's Working Class and declining Gentry in post World War II.Reviewers will want to know - did I enjoy the book? And my answer is yes but I found it to be frustrating read as I wanted to slap silly all the main characters for their obtuseness. Worth a read, hard to put down but don't expect to be satisfied in the end. Not your typical ghost story - so leave your paranormal baggage at home
I loved this novel––first one I've read by Sarah Waters, and I plan to read everything else she's written. Though reviewers suggest that The Little Stranger is atypical, I trust that I'll love her other work as well. She's a gifted novelist, and I look forward to being taken on whatever imaginative, historical, sexual, psychological, or sociological trips she cares to explore. This novel, for me, never drags (as some reviewers complained--what was their problem?). The world it creates is solid, built of revelatory, convincing detail. Its conflicts unfold with subtle horror––and just as I thought there was no more to reveal, the book ended with yet another "turn of the screw" that made me want to go back and reread the beginning. I began seeing the fine thread that had been been there throughout, clear all the way to the last few ghastly sentences! The following may need a spoiler alert, so beware: One of the things Waters does so brilliantly in The Little Stranger is to let the reader's suspicions of the narrator's unreliability grow so gradually. His steadfast rationalism, even after a colleague offers a plausible way to read the presence of a ghost that differs from the narrator's pathologizing of any who disagree with him, begins to coincide with our creeping sense that he's so desperate to claim the family and house and to assert his control that he can't see or hear the truths spoken to him by the woman he wants to possess. I couldn't tear myself away from this book––intelligent, pleasurable, and compelling!
This book started out well and the descriptions of places, people and events are finely drawn and drew me in at the beginning. This sense of involvement with the characters continued for the first half of the book, and with it great writing in regard to foreshadowing of possible occurrences to come. After that it seemed, for me, a bit strenuously- long in the narrative with lengthy conversations between the characters, long descriptions of events, and a sense that something important was going to happen, but it took such a long time to get there. Usually I love immersing myself in lengthy novels and feeling connected to a different time and place, but this time I found myself annoyed and impatient with the people involved.
Imagine a cuisine where the appetizer IS the meal. No matter its artful presentation, even the most tasty hors d'oeuvre will not only leave you hungry but chafing at its parsimony. This is not to say that The Little Stranger is a skimpy book -- it's broad, detailed and engrossing. Yet, at the end, there's an appetite unsatisfied. I suppose we could debate the meaning of "ghost" or "madness" or how they might even work in tandem, but it doesn't preclude a feeling of somehow being cheated of a full meal.
