Some of that is translation problems, and some of those are changes necessary to tell the story he wants to tell. The women and children taken by the Japanese during the war are Dutch, not British, and Nevil Shute gets many things wrong. This story is set in Malaya, but the real story is set in Sumatra. It involves a woman named Jean Paget, to him more of a girl, but as we learn her story, we find out just how much of a woman she really is.

In The Little Stranger, Waters draws on the cultural and critical insights of second-wave feminism, and the power of feminist Gothic influenced by the literary analysis of Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar, to problematise conventional post-war roles and to ironise the paralysing narratives which entrap and destroy women. Each of these novels is a tale of women estranged, cast out, hidden, held back, or killed off because of the challenge they represented to the conventional gendered roles at the time. Sarah Waters’s The Little Stranger (2009) builds on women’s ghost story precedents, including those of Susan Hill (1983), and Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca (1938), which talk back to Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre (1846), the name of which echoes that of the decayed landed gentry family in Waters’s novel, the Ayres.

" Yet, she added, "We're not necessarily going in order-but we are going to be seeing each one of the siblings and their stories."

To answer that question, Lepore wrestles with the state of American politics, the legacy of slavery, the persistence of inequality, and the nature of technological change. These Truths tells this uniquely American story, beginning in 1492, asking whether the course of events over more than five centuries has proven the nation's truths, or belied them. But has the nation, and democracy itself, delivered on that promise? The American experiment rests on three ideas-"these truths," Jefferson called them-political equality, natural rights, and the sovereignty of the people. Widely hailed for its "sweeping, sobering account of the American past" (New York Times Book Review), Jill Lepore's one-volume history of America places truth itself-a devotion to facts, proof, and evidence-at the center of the nation's history.
