"Nadine, a sixteen-year-old runaway new to London, is set up in a decaying Georgian house by her Finnish lover, Kai. Slowly, she begins to suspect that Kai's plans for her have little to do with love.
'Be careful,' warns Enid, the elderly sitting tenant in the house, who knows all about survival and secrets. And when Nadine discovers Kai's true intentions, Enid's warning takes on a terrible and prophetic quality. "

Selected from the Women in Fiction VBB, this has arrived safely in France. Sent from the Pacific North West where Burning Bright seems to be a bit too descriptive for the terrible heat wave raging there at present.
Thanks so much for sending (and including the lovely stickers and card). I hope you and yours are able to stay well and that the temperature sinks to a more comfortable and usual level!

I selected this from the Women in Fiction VBB on bookcrossing because I had heard good things about this author.
I finally read a first book by her this summer (The Siege), and recently pulled this one off the shelf.
I had no idea what to expect of this relatively short novel, but even though I was reading this intermittently with other books, I ended up being quite caught up with it.
The main character is a young girl caught up in what she experiences as a love affair with an older, mysterious man. She eagerly accompanies him to a new life in London, while not really understanding what the new life should entail. She befriends a very elderly woman, the "sitting tenant" in the building the man and his friend/business partner has recently bought... The various relationships are complex and well described.
A good read.
