Hands down, one of her best works! Celia Fremlin knew people, in their variety, bound in social constructs and also, most especially, the ways of their minds. She has the unique talent of writing people with different social/ educational/ wealth backgrounds and people of different generations and ages. And with The Spider Orchid, she does it all. Many different people, giving sympathy (from the readers) to the wrong-doers and antipathies to the supposed victims, the authentic world of a (teen) daughter (with her own themes and struggles of and with life) and her father, finding their relationship and bond, while the father has his lover move in with him, the ex-wife and the ex-husband and a supposedly “ordinary” everyday situation (marriages break apart every day, don’t they?) that is just the surface. And underneath the surface lies the madness and the terror of human life in a society. Celia Fremlin, master of suspense and psychological thriller/ observation! There will never be one like her again! And this last sentence! I promise you, the last sentence is worth everything!
