A Spanish-gothic version of a Patricia Highsmith novel Jon and
Katharina spend the winter in Jon's childhood home on the
Cantabrian coast, lonely and bored, ambivalent about their
precarious freelance jobs and disconnected in their relationship.
Yet the couple's routine will soon be disturbed when one rainy
night, they witness strange lights in the sky over the village. The
next morning, ufologists begin to arrive in the village, anxious to
make extraterrestrial contact. The morning brings other unexpected
guests: Jon's distant cousin, Markel, and his companion, the
silent, alluring Virginia. The visit becomes increasingly
uncomfortable as-like the ufologists camped out in view of the
house-the strangers stay on and show little sign of planning to
leave. Days stretch into weeks, even as the cousins can't remember
ever having met, Virginia's behavior becomes subtly threatening,
and Jon begins doubt that Markel is who he says he . . . A
deliciously tense and darkly humorous novella that explores the
border that separates love from routine and offers a twist on theme
of "the other" and how to live with the unknown, The Strangers
introduces English readers to singular talent.
