An intelligent thriller. A classic. I read this book years ago at university. It's time for it to travel now.

A young man, Frederick, wins a lot of money, and lonely as he is, kidnaps a lovely young girl, Miranda, to have someone. First the narrator is Frederick, then Miranda, thus most events recur in the text.

I did remember that, ages ago, I saw the film directed by William Wyler, but I did not remember how the story ended.

No doubt the plot is exciting, but the book is also a study on "owning" another person. The writer delicately illuminates Frederick's perspective where the simple style succeeds in pointing out that he is a pitiful bastard, just obsessed and nothing else, while Miranda's voice indicates that she has much insight on things. No match really.

When reading this book, I often thought about 3096 Days, the true story by Natascha Kampusch who spent eight years in captivity.
