Description

After her parents' bitter divorce, young Maisie Farange finds herself shuttled between her selfish mother and vain father, who value her only as a means for provoking each other. Maisie - solitary, observant and wise beyond her years - is drawn into an increasingly entangled adult world of intrigue and sexual betrayal, until she is finally compelled to choose her own future. "What Maisie Knew" is a subtle yet devastating portrayal of an innocent adrift in a corrupt society. It is part of a relaunch of three "James" titles.
