A Sight for Sore
Eyes- 1998
In traditional fairytales the handsome prince rescues the beautiful
princess from her wicked stepmother, and the couple live happily ever
after. But in Ruth Rendell's dark and damaged contemporary universe,
innocent dreams can turn into the most terrible nightmares. Teddy Brex
emerges from a loveless, isolated childhood as a handsome but autistic
young man. Francine Hill, traumatised by the murder of her mother, grows
into a beautiful young woman, who must endure the over-protectiveness
of an increasingly obsessive stepmother. Teddy Brex does ride to her
rescue, but he is a man who has already committed two murders.
