The Little Friend (Vintage Contemporaries) - Softcover

"The Little Friend seems destined to become a special kind of classic. . . .It grips you like a fairy tale, but denies you the consoling assurance that it's all just make-believe."--The New York Times Book Review

"At times humorous, at times heartbreaking, The Little Friend is most surprising when it is edge of the seat scary." --USA Today

"Harriet [is] one of the most engaging and rounded characters you are likely to find...Tartt's writing: gorgeous, fluent, visual." --The Times (London)

"Languidly atmospheric... psychologically acute.... A rich novel that takes you somewhere worth going." --The New Yorker

"A terrific story. . . . Tartt etches each of these characters with indelible assurance." -Newsweek
