From Emma Tennant, the acclaimed author of Pemberley and Burnt Diaries, comes an unforgettable tale inspired by Henry James. The Beautiful Child is the last known unfinished story by the great American writer, ending on a Jamesian note of terror in a Christmas idyll, amplified throughout by Tennant's trademark feminist-dreamlike style. A chilling account of cruelty and neglect, Tennant's story suggests a terrifying real scandal behind James's inability to complete his tale of a couple who beseech a fashionable artist to paint the child they never had - none other than the dipsomaniac Mr and Mrs Smith, longstanding servants of James until the novel was abandoned...

Emma Tennant is best known for a postmodern approach to her fiction, which oftengives a dreamlike twist to classic stories.Her books include a sequel to "Pride and Prejudice" called "Pemberley" and "Thornfield Hall: Jane Eyre's Hidden Story.""
