Nails and eyes

A young girl addresses her stepmother, who has moved in shortly after her mother's death in unusual circumstances. The girl shows strangely detailed knowledge of the older woman's life, and as her stepmother settles into the house, the girl's obsession sharpens to an ever finer point. With masterful narrative control,' Nails and Eyes' - appearing in English for the first time-builds to a conclusion of uncanny power.
