The Visitor
The discovery of this novella in a university library collection some years after the author's death has been celebrated as a veritable literary gem, comparable to James Joyce's
Dubliners in its stylistic refinedness, psychological insight and atmospheric density. In it, 22-year-old Anastasia King returns to Ireland after six years in Paris, where she lived with her mother, away from her father and grandmother. With both parents dead, Anastasia arrives back in Dublin, only to be met by the implacable rage of her grandmother, Mrs. King.
It is clear that while Anastasia thinks she has come home to stay, she is a mere visitor, and an unwelcome one at that.
