The Well
Autor Elizabeth Jolley Introducere de Alice Slateren Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 sep 2026
'I've brought Katherine, Father,' Miss Harper said. 'I've brought Katherine, but she's for me.'
Miss Hester Harper, middle-aged and eccentric, brings a young woman into her isolated existence on an Australian sheep farm. Together she and Katherine sew, cook gourmet meals for two, run the farm, make music and throw away their dirty dishes. Then one night, driving along the deserted track home, they hit a mysterious creature. They heave the body from the roo bar and dump it into the farm's deep well, where Hester knows it will never be found. But Katherine, drawn closer and closer to the edge of the well, begins to hear the voice of the injured intruder . . .

Recenzii
INTRODUCED BY ALICE SLATER
If they bent their heads close to the unclosed part of the cover they thought that, even though the well was dry, they could hear from its depths the slow drip drop of water . . .
Miss Hester Harper, middle-aged and eccentric, brings a young woman into her isolated existence on an Australian sheep farm. Together she and Katherine create a strange idyll, full of indulgent pleasures: champagne and cornflakes for breakfast, evenings dancing in silky nightgowns, daydreams of adventure and romance.
Then one night, driving along the deserted track home, they hit something - or someone - in the darkness. Heaving the body into the farm's deep well, Hester convinces herself that it will never be found. But Katherine, drawn closer and closer to the edge of the well, begins to hear the voice of the injured intruder . . .
'A pitch-black, pitch-perfect depiction of unspoken desire, jealousy and control. The Well might just be the best book you've never read' ALICE SLATER
'Discovering this book forty years after its publication is like finding a black diamond in the desert. Propulsive, tense and poignant' HEATHER PARRY
