Synopsis
Fifteen-year-old Katya Spivak is out for a walk on the gracious
streets of Bayhead Harbor, New Jersey, with her two summer
babysitting charges when she is approached by silver-haired,
elegant Marcus Kidder. At first his interest in her seems harmless,
even pleasant; like his name, a sort of gentle joke. His beautiful
home, the children's books that he has written, his classical
music, the fine art in his study, his lavish gifts to her: Mr.
Kidder's life couldn't be more different from Katya's drab working
class existence back home - or more enticing. But by degrees,
almost imperceptibly, something changes, and posing for Mr Kidder's
new painting isn't the light-hearted endeavour it once was. What
does he really want from her? And how far will he go to get it?
This spare, chilling novel shows Joyce Carol Oates at the height of
her powers as a literary storyteller.
