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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHarrowing and haunting, like an unexpected cross between Flannery O'Connor and Stephen King, \u003ci\u003eThe Vet's Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of outraged innocence that culminates in a scene of appalling triumph.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"Vet's Daughter | Barbara Comyns | Paperback | 9781590170298 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks F 1743877","offer_id":48199427096728,"sku":"1743877","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/716IlYcXFOL.jpg?v=1772557515","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/vets-daughter","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
