Appointment with Yesterday
Appointment with Yesterday | Celia Fremlin
4 posts | 2 read | 6 to read
'Britain's equivalent to Patricia Highsmith, Celia Fremlin wrote psychological thrillers that changed the landscape of crime fiction for ever: her novels are domestic, subtle, penetrating - and quite horribly chilling.' Andrew Taylor Appointment with Yesterday (1972), Celia Fremlin's eighth novel, concerns a woman who calls herself Milly Barnes. But this is not her real name - for 'Milly' is on the run, driven by her terrible panic that at any moment the remorseless arm of the law will catch up with her. 'Not less horrible than illicit deaths are the horrors that lurk in female domesticity, and Celia Fremlin has long been the mistress of their fictional presentation. Here, in the best so far of her always good books, she has fused both, in an excellent terror novel.' TLS

Fremlin is a delight as always! It‘s really surprising she isn‘t more widely read. She deserves a renaissance!

This one is a perfect mystery for summer reading. I didn‘t see the twist coming and character development hooks you from the beginning. The second husband?! 😳 That‘s what makes Fremlin special - keen observation of human nature, especially our fears & foibles.

LeahBergen I‘ve been saving this one 😆 1mo
Tamra @LeahBergen I know what you mean - there are only so many. Best read sparingly. 😅 1mo

I have an appointment with Fremlin in this spot for reading while husband & son fish this afternoon. I‘m in my favorite place in the world. 😊😌 Our backyard for three short days.

Federal lands should not be sold (as proposed) and hence locked up by the ultra wealthy. Little people like us would never have access to it or if so, only for a hefty price.

Milly has disappeared into a new life. Reinvented herself and discovered new strengths. But the past is not far behind, and Milly fears the long arm of the law.
Another great domestic noir from Celia Fremlin. I really enjoyed ‘ Milly ‘ and the development of her character. Never a dull moment!
