Una casa ordenada, una situación inquietante

El trabajo doméstico de la narradora la sitúa en el centro de la vida privada de los Winchester: limpia su casa, recoge a su hija y cena aparte en una habitación del ático. Desde esa posición observa las tensiones entre Nina y Andrew, mientras la diferencia entre la vida que contempla y la suya propia adquiere un peso creciente. El acceso a los espacios íntimos de la familia también marca los límites de su independencia, y el cierre de su dormitorio desde el exterior introduce una dimensión de encierro. La novela construye así un thriller de suspense alrededor de la intimidad doméstica, las apariencias y lo que cada persona oculta.

Book overview

"Every day I clean the Winchesters' beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor. I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew's handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it's hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina's life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband. I only try on one of Nina's pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it's like. But she soon finds out... and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it's far too late. But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don't know who I really am. They don't know what I'm capable of..."--Provided by publisher.
