A darkly funny account of family life from the author of The Haunting of Hill House and The Lottery


''Sometimes, in my capacity as a mother, I find myself sitting open-mouthed and terrified before my own children''

As well as being a master of the macabre, Shirley Jackson was also a pitch-perfect chronicler of everyday family life. In Life Among the Savages, her caustically funny account of raising her children in a ramshackle house in Vermont, she deals with rats in the cellar, misbehaving imaginary friends, an oblivious husband and ever-encroaching domestic chaos, all described with wit, warmth and plenty of bite.

''Jackson''s family chronicles have a genuinely subversive aspect ... Read today, her pieces feel surprisingly modern - mainly because she refuses to sentimentalize or idealize motherhood'' The New York Times Book Review

''Comic masterpieces, laced with hints of the discontent that lies beneath'' Guardian

© Shirley Jackson 1953 (P) Penguin Audio 2020
