null
Book •
Elizabeth Harrower's "The Watchtower" masterfully portrays the insidious nature of coercive control within a seemingly idyllic setting.

The novel follows two sisters navigating the complexities of their lives after their father's death, leading to a disturbing exploration of power dynamics and manipulation.

Harrower's evocative prose paints a vivid picture of Sydney, contrasting the beauty of the harbor with the oppressive atmosphere within the sisters' home.

The narrative unfolds in three distinct parts, mirroring the protagonist's journey from naivete to liberation.

The book's exploration of psychological manipulation and the strength required to escape such situations resonates deeply with readers.
