A teenager’s involvement with an older man is not what it appears in
a tale of seduction by the New York Times bestselling author of We
Were the Mulvaneys. Sixteen-year-old Katya Spivak is out for a walk
on the gracious streets of Bayhead Harbor with her two summer
babysitting charges when she’s approached by silver-haired, elegant
Marcus Kidder. At first his interest in her seems harmless, even
pleasant; like his name, a sort of gentle joke. His beautiful home,
the children’s books he’s written, his classical music, the
marvelous art in his study, his lavish presents to her—Mr.
Kidder’s life couldn’t be more different from Katya’s drab
working-class existence back home in South Jersey, or more enticing.
But by degrees, almost imperceptibly, something changes, and posing
for Mr. Kidder’s new painting isn’t the lighthearted endeavor it
once was. What he wants from Katya is something she can’t
comprehend. What Katya wants from him is something else again. As
their relationship deepens, and twists, the question is who’s
seducing whom? And to what end? From a National Book Award winner
and #1 New York Times bestselling author, A Fair Maiden is “fresh,
current and gripping . . . the insight shrewd and the violence
vivid . . . [an] intense and thought-provoking work of
fiction”(New Statesman).
