 | The Little Friend by Donna Tartt
Donna Tartt`s long-awaited second novel (published 10 years after THE SECRET HISTORY) begins with the murder of a 9-year-old boy, which is never solved. Twelve years later, the family is still stunned and bereft, stuck in time--except for Harriet, the boy`s younger sister, who is convinced she knows who committed the crime and intends to expose the killer--and perhaps, in the process, some unsavory episodes in her family`s history. Set in a small Southern town, THE LITTLE FRIEND is a long, Dickensian novel that also owes a debt to classic 19th-century adventure stories. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.
