The second novel by Donna Tartt, best-selling author of The Goldfinch (winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize), The Little Friend is a grandly ambitious and utterly riveting novel of childhood, innocence and evil.
The setting is Alexandria, Mississippi, where one Mother's Day a little boy named Robin Cleve Dufresnes was found hanging from a tree in his parents' yard. 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" (The New York Times Book Review), The Little Friend is a work of myriad enchantments by a writer of prodigious talent.

Eleştirmen yorumları
"Beautifully written and immaculately crafted ... even though there's humour, the tension is palpable. Unputdownable” ( Daily Mirror)
"Harriet is one of the most engaging and rounded characters you are likely to find ... gorgeous, fluent, visual." ( The Times)

Where does The Little Friend rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
A recommendation by my friend led me to go through this slow moving story until the last 100 odd pages. Engaging and tantalising but left me with various emotions.What could Donna Tartt have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Madam, you could have brought things around full circle. More clarity and the denouement was executed a little slovenly.What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
GRIPPING. Fairly well read and paced. The accent grated somewhat but typical of I assumed the local region.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Not entirely. Felt like fast forwarding till I reached the good bits.Any additional comments?
Could be better.A slow build up and a fast steep end
