Description: | Select Guide Rating Little Nell Trent lives in the quiet gloom of the old curiosity shop with her ailing grandfather, for whom she cares with selfless devotion. But when they are unable to pay their debts to the stunted, lecherous and demonic money-lender Daniel Quilp, the shop is seized and they are forced to flee, thrown into a shadowy world. ''His characters are marvellous, his insights wonderful ... You don''t expect reality but you get something bigger and better'' Ruth Rendell |
