From the critically acclaimed author of The
Mysteries comes a haunting, lyrical, and provocative
novel of a young woman’s coming-of-age betwixt dream and
reality. Here there’s only one thing more dangerous than desire—
getting what you want.... As a child, Agnes Grey dreamed
of the perfect friend to ease her loneliness: a doll that
would talk to her, tell her stories, share her secrets.
Only her aunt Marjorie seemed to really understand.
Something of an outcast herself, she told Agnes she’d had
just such a doll when she was a child. She called it her
pillow friend. So when Agnes receives her very own pillow
friend—an old-fashioned porcelain doll painted to look
like an old-world gentleman—she’s certain her dreams have
come true. And so they have—but in ways that Agnes could
never have imagined. For as the line between fantasy and
reality blurs, Agnes discovers that every dream has its
price and every desire must be paid for. Be very careful
what you wish for...he’ll surely give it to you.
