Killing Stella by Marlen Haushofer
Left alone in her house for the weekend, a woman reflects on how the arrival of her friend’s teenage daughter, Stella, intensifies the tensions in her already troubled family. Watching from the window as her unfaithful husband, brooding son and distracted daughter go about their lives, she becomes increasingly anxious, and the household’s simmering unease builds into a tense, claustrophobic domestic drama.
