London, United Kingdom: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 2002. FIRST EDITION - FIRST PRINTING..............Note! this is a Heavy Book..................Very minor creases to cover edges; cover price-clipped, NO marks or inscriptions to pages. --------------- .".....From Publishers Weekly Widely anticipated over the decade since her debut in The Secret History, Tartt's second novel confirms her talent as a superb storyteller, sophisticated observer of human nature and keen appraiser of ethics and morality. If the theme of The Secret History was intellectual arrogance, here it is dangerous innocence. The death of nine- year-old Robin Cleve Dufresnes, found hanging from a tree in his own backyard in Alexandria, Miss., has never been solved. The crime destroyed his family: it turned his mother into a lethargic recluse; his father left town; and the surviving siblings, Allison and Harriet, are now, 12 years later-it is the early '70s-largely being raised by their black maid and a matriarchy of female relatives headed by their domineering grandmother and her three sisters. Although every character is sharply etched, 12-year-old Harriet-smart, stubborn, willful-is as vivid as a torchlight. Like many preadolescents, she's fascinated by secrets. She vows to solve the mystery of her brother's death and unmask the killer, whom she decides, without a shred of evidence, is Danny Ratliff, a member of a degenerate, redneck family of hardened criminals. (The Ratliff brothers are good to their grandmother, however; their solicitude at times lends the novel the antic atmosphere of a Booth cartoon.) Harriet's pursuit of Danny, at first comic,gathers fateful impetus as she and her best friend, Hely, stalk the Ratliffs, and eventually, as the plot attains the suspense level of a thriller, leads her into mortal danger. Harriet learns about betrayal..". First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 6 1/2 " By 9 1/2" Tall. (more information)

Not only was the plot clever and unguessable, but the richness of each character was so well described. The heat and atmosphere of the mississippi town lifted off the page and I've rarely read of evil in such a descriptive and gripping style. I loved the clever, astute Harriet who has to endure so much, not least her self absorbed careless parents and a strange and horrible family sorrow.

London: Bloomsbury, 2002. This is a first edition, first impression of only the second novel from Donna Tartt, whose first - 'The Secret History' - was a runaway international success, being translated into 23 languages. The long wait for 'The Little Friend' was well worth it. This novel, published by Bloomsbury of London in 2002, was also acclaimed and was short-listed for the Orange Prize. The book is sized approx. 24 x 16 cms (9.5" x 6.5") and has 555 pages. The condition of the dustjacket/book, in my opinion, is very good/fine. The jacket is still fresh and bright, but a little rubbed at the edges and with one small, closed teat at the top right corner. The book is pretty well like new. From the sleeve notes: Although the Cleves generally revelled in every detail of their family history, the events of 'the terrible Mother's Day' were never discussed. On that day. nine-year-old Robin, loved by all for his whims and peculiarities, was found hanging by the neck from a black-tupelo tree in his own garden. Twelve years later, the mysterry - with its taunting traces of foul play - was no nearer a solution than it had been on the day ot happened. This isn't good enough for Robin's youngest sister Harriet. Only a baby when the tragedy occurred but now twelve years old and steeped in the adventurous daring of favourite writers such as Stevenson. Kipling and Conan Doyle. Harriet is ready and eager to find and punish her brother's killer. Her closest friend Hely - who would try anything to make Harriet love him - has sworn allegiance to her call for revenge. But the world these plucky twelve-year-olds are to encounter has nothing to do with child's play: it is dark, adult and all too menacing. In Donna Tartt's Mississippi. the sense of place and sense of the past mingle redolently with rich human drama to create a collective alchemy. Here eccentric great aunts bustle about graciously despite faded fortunes and a child's enquiring mind not only unearths telling family artefacts, but stirs up a neighbourhood nest of vipers and larceny. 'The Little Friend' is a profoundly involving novel which demonstrates how the imaginary life embraces what literature we read, what special places we inhabit and what kindred souls we recognize, to help crack open even the darkest secrets life has hiding for us..
