The Door

<p><b>Another undisclosed facet of her million secrets glittered before us...</b><br><br>Emerence is a domestic servant – strong, fierce, eccentric, and with a reputation for being a first-rate housekeeper. When Magda, a young Hungarian writer, takes her on to help around the house, she never imagines that this will ignite one of the most important relationships of her life.<br><br>It takes twenty years for a complex trust between the two women to be slowly, carefully built. Yet beneath her indomitable exterior, Emerence shields a hidden past, and a fragile present, the exposure of which will shift the course of both their lives irreversibly.<br><br><b>'A deeply strange and equally affecting book, a dark domestic fairy tale' <i>New York Times</i></b><br><br><b>Translated by Len Rix</b></p>
