The Vet\'s Daughter combines shocking realism with a visionary edge.
Harrowing and haunting, like an unexpected cross between Flannery O\'Connor and Stephen King, The Vet\'s Daughter is a story of outraged innocence that culminates in a scene of appalling triumph..
And yet as Alice retreats ever deeper into a dream world, she discovers an extraordinary secret power of her own.
After his wife\'s death, the vet takes up with a crass, needling woman who tries to refashion Alice in her own image.
He works constantly, captive to a strange private fury, and treats his family with brutality and contempt.
The vet lives with his bedridden wife and shy Daughter Alice in a sinister London suburb.
