The Wasp Factory: A Novel
| |
|
Meet Frank Cauldhame. Just sixteen, and unconventional to say the least: Two years after I killed Blyth I murdered my young brother Paul, for quite different and more fundamental reasons than I'd disposed of Blyth, and then a year after that I did for my young cousin Esmerelda, more or less on a whim. That's my score to date. Three. I haven't killed anybody for years, and don't intend to ever again. It was just a stage I was going through.

The Story of Ragged Robyn

Very well done, and very unusual stuff. Only in parts of Reade's epic , THE CLOISTER AND THE HEARTH, do ...

Her journals candidly chronicle the great changes that take place within the castle's walls, and her own first descent into love.
