An English family hires a mysterious new cook who is incredibly good at his job. Things seem normal and then get weird.
An anon in another thread mentioned being the only person he knew who read this book and not having anyone to discuss it with, so I decided to read this book and then make this thread so he could discuss it.

Reading the summary it sounds like Passolini's Teorema or Miike's Visitor Q

Not familiar with either of these, but based on a quick look at their Wikipedia entries they are a lot more sexual than this book is.

I adore this book. Utterly brilliant and almost totally forgotten.

Poor Ester btw

I don't really have a favorite page, but here's something to whet your appetite.

Why do you think it was brilliant? I didn't hate it, but didn't love it either.

Fair enough; I just flipped through it quickly to try and find something to screenshot.
