"""FAULTLESS."" -The Guardian *** ""A SLY PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER."" -The
Observer The new novel from the Women's Prize for Fiction longlisted author of
Remote Sympathy Like every other girl in her class, twelve-year-old Justine is
drawn to her glamorous, charismatic new teacher and longs to be her pet.
However, when a thief begins to target the school, Justine's sense that
something isn't quite right grows ever stronger. With each twist of the plot,
this gripping story of deception and the corrosive power of guilt takes a yet
darker turn. Young as she is, Justine must decide where her loyalties lie. Set
in New Zealand in the 1980s and probing themes of racism, misogyny and the
oppressive reaches of Catholicism, Pet will take a rightful place next to other
classic portraits of childhood betrayal: The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, The
Go-Between, Heavenly Creatures and Au Revoir Les Enfants among them. WHAT
READERS ARE SAYING: ""An utterly compelling read."" -Stephen on Netgal...
