Synopsis "The Stranger"

'Immersive, gripping, will pull at your heartstrings' Gilly Macmillan, international bestselling author

We all have our secrets. Eleanor Rathmell has kept one her whole life. But when her husband dies and a stranger arrives at her door, her safe life in the idyllic English village she's chosen as her home begins to topple.

Everyone is suspicious of this stranger, except for Eleanor. But her trust in him will put her life in danger, because nothing is as it seems; not her dead husband, the man who claims to love her, or the inscrutable outsider to whom she's opened her home and her heart.

Praise for Saskia Sarginson:

'Outstandingly good. Part thriller, part love story, I guarantee you will not be able to put it down' Sun on The Twins

'Atmospheric, readable, beautifully evoked' Sunday Mirror on Without You

'Stunning in its insight and beautifully written' Judy Finnigan on The Twins

'A stunning writer with deep insight into people, their thoughts and behaviour' NZ Women's Weekly

Albert Camus

(Author)

View Author's Page

Albert Camus (Mondovi, Algeria, November 7, 1913 – France, January 4, 1960) was a French novelist, essayist, and philosopher, whose career established him as a key figure in twentieth-century thought and literature. His childhood, marked by humility and the Algerian colonial environment, deeply influenced his worldview and literary style. After studying philosophy in Algiers, he moved to France, where he developed a prolific career in both journalism and literature.
Camus is the author of emblematic titles such as The Stranger, The Plague, The Fall, and The Myth of Sisyphus, works that explore the human condition, freedom, and the search for meaning in the face of absurdity. Although often linked to existentialism, he himself rejected this label, moving between humanism and his own philosophical stances. In 1957, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, a recognition he received as one of the youngest authors in the history of the award.

Camus's career has been celebrated for his ability to address ethical and existential questions through direct and reflective prose, connecting with generations of readers around the world. His legacy remains relevant, and his works continue to be the subject of study, analysis, and debate. Camus's life was tragically cut short in a traffic accident, but his thought and literature maintain a constant influence on contemporary culture.
