Clever little thing / Helena Echlin.

Echlin, Helena, (author.).

Summary:

"Charlotte's daughter Stella is sensitive and brilliant, perhaps even a genius, but a recent change in her behavior has alarmed her parents. Following the sudden death of Stella's babysitter Blanka, the once disruptive and anti-social child has become docile and agreeable. But what's unsettling is that she has begun to mirror Blanka'spersonality, from Blanka's repetitive phrases to her accent, to fierce cravings for Armenian meat stew after being raised a vegetarian. Charlotte is pregnant with her second child, and depleted and sickwith the pregnancy. She is convinced that Blanka herself is somehowresponsible for Stella's transformation. But how could Blanka, dead, still be entwined in their lives?"-- Provided by publisher.
