Description
A Spanish-gothic version of a Patricia Highsmith novelA Jon and Katharina spend the winter in Jonâ?Ts childhood home on the Cantabrian coast, lonely and bored, ambivalent about their precarious freelance jobs and disconnected in their relationship. Yet the coupleâ?Ts routine will soon be disturbed when one rainy night, they witness strange lights in the sky over the village. The next morning, ufologists begin to arrive in the village, anxious to make extraterrestrial contact. The morning brings other unexpected guests: Jon's distant cousin, Markel, and his companion, the silent, alluring Virginia. The visit becomes increasingly uncomfortable asâ?"like the ufologists camped out in view of the houseâ?"the strangers stay on and show little sign of planning to leave. Days stretch into weeks, even as the cousins can't remember ever having met, Virginiaâ?Ts behavior becomes subtly threatening, and Jon begins doubt that Markel is who he says he . . .A A deliciously tense and darkly humorous novella that explores the border that separates love from routine and offers a twist on theme of â?othe otherâ?? and how to live with the unknown, The Strangers introduces English readers to singular talent.
