Twelve years later Robin’s murder is still unsolved and his family remains devastated. So it is that Robin’s sister Harriet—unnervingly bright, insufferably determined, and unduly influenced by the fiction of Kipling and Robert Louis Stevenson--sets out to unmask his killer. Aided only by her worshipful friend Hely, Harriet crosses her town’s rigid lines of race and caste and burrows deep into her family’s history of loss. Filled with hairpin turns of plot and “a bustling, ridiculous humanity worthy of Dickens” (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eThe Little Friend\u003c\/i\u003e is a work of myriad enchantments by a writer of prodigious talent.","brand":"Donna Tartt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":49979265253733,"sku":"9781400031696","price":25.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2651\/2997\/files\/BNCImageAPI_3097c500-cfa6-4102-8212-9aef31e5139a.jpg?v=1759417276","url":"https:\/\/www.commonplaceingersoll.ca\/products\/9781400031696","provider":"Commonplace Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
