Sinossi
Weeks went by when Ismay never thought of it at all. Then, something would bring it back or it would return in a dream. The dream began in the same way. She and her mother would be climbing the stairs, following Heather's lead through the bedroom to what was on the other side, not a bathroom in the dream but a chamber floored and walled in marble. In the middle of it was a glassy lake. The white thing in the water floated towards her, its face submerged, and her mother said, absurdly, "Don't look!"' The dead man was Ismay's stepfather, Guy. Now, nine years on, she and her sister, Heather, still lived in the same house in Clapham. But it had been divided into two self-contained flats. Their mother lived upstairs with her sister, Pamela. And the bathroom, where Guy had drowned, had disappeared. Ismay worked in public relations, and Heather in catering. They got on well. They always had. They never discussed the changes to the house, still less what had happened that August day...But even lives as private as these, where secrets hang in the air like dust, intertwine with other worlds and other individuals. And, with painful inevitability, the truth will emerge.

Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Condizione: Muy bueno. : En 'The Water's Lovely', Ruth Rendell nos sumerge en un inquietante thriller psicológico donde los secretos familiares y las sospechas latentes crean una atmósfera de tensión constante. Nueve años después de la muerte del padrastro de Ismay y Heather, las hermanas siguen viviendo en la misma casa, ahora dividida en apartamentos. La aparente tranquilidad se ve perturbada cuando Heather inicia una relación seria, desenterrando recuerdos reprimidos en Ismay y llevándola a cuestionar si la muerte de su padrastro fue realmente un accidente. Con una prosa elegante y una trama intrincada, Rendell explora las profundidades de la psique humana y la fragilidad de las relaciones familiares, manteniendo al lector en vilo hasta la revelación final.
