Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Stella Brentwood, retired anthropologist, has studied social systems around the world, but she finds life in rural Somerset, to which she has retired, as strange and absorbing as any she has met. She re-explores old friendships, but it is her neighbour Karen Hiscox, a fiery and aggressive woman governing her husband and sons with menacing force, who is the most unsettling presence in her new life. SPIDERWEB is an intricate mesh of letters, journal entries, classified adverts and news items which illuminate the narrative of Stella's reassessment of the relationships and journeyings which make up the spiderweb of her life.
