'A suburban matron, harassed by wartime domestic problems - her
husband is overseas - finds herself implicated in the murder of her
young daughter's extremely unattractive beau' ("The New Yorker").
An outstanding example of the psychological thriller genre, 'worthy
of the great Patricia Highsmith herself,' as Lady Antonia Fraser
said in the "Spectator". "The Blank Wall" (1947) was filmed as "The
Reckless Moment" in 1949 and as "The Deep End" in 2001, starring
Tilda Swinton. In 1950 Raymond Chandler asked his English
publisher, 'Does anybody in England publish Elisabeth Sanxay
Holding? For my money she's the top suspense writer of them all.She
doesn't pour it on and make you feel irritated. Her characters are
wonderful; and she has a sort of inner calm which I find very
attractive.' This tense and fast-paced novel is about maternal love
and about the heroine's relationship with those around her,
especially her children and her maid.
