Publisher's note

A chilling and vividly rendered ghost story set in postwar Britain, by the bestselling and award-winning author of "The Night Watch" and "Fingersmith."
Sarah Watersas trilogy of Victorian novels "Tipping the Velvet," "Affinity," and "Fingersmith" earned her legions of fans around the world, a number of awards, and a reputation as one of todayas most gifted historical novelists. With her most recent book, "The Night Watch," Waters turned to the 1940s and delivered a tender and intricate novel of relationships that brought her the greatest success she has achieved so far. With "The Little Stranger," Waters revisits the fertile setting of Britain in the 1940saand gives us a sinister tale of a haunted house, brimming with the rich atmosphere and psychological complexity that have become hallmarks of Watersas work.
"The Little Stranger" follows the strange adventures of Dr. Faraday, the son of a maid who has built a life of quiet respectability as a country doctor. One dusty postwar summer in his home of rural Warwickshire, he is called to a patient at Hundreds Hall. Home to the Ayres family for more than two centuries, the Georgian house, once grand and handsome, is now in declineaits masonry crumbling, its gardens choked with weeds, the clock in its stable yard permanently fixed at twenty to nine. But are the Ayreses haunted by something more ominous than a dying way of life? Little does Dr. Faraday know how closely, and how terrifyingly, their story is about to become entwined with his.
Abundantly atmospheric and elegantly told, "The Little Stranger" is Sarah Watersas most thrilling and ambitious novel yet.

Annotation

Dozens of neuroscientists and psychiatrists have written perceptive books about how to make quicker decisions and achieve better focus in order to maximize the performance of our most important organ, the brain. Unfortunately, in order to glean this advice, readers would first have to refute it by wasting countless hours perusing the endless choices in this burgeoning non-fiction genre. Thank goodness for Richard Restak, who simplifies matters by collecting the latest neurological insights from his many colleagues and compiling the most useful findings in THINK SMART. Restak talked to all the top psychiatric minds, asking each of them "What can I do to make my brain work more efficiently?" He analyzes the many helpful responses with his own comments and modifications, and provides concrete exercises and techniques to aid everyone in the essential process of nurturing their neurons.
