Daddy is a literary fiction book by author Emma Cline.
An absentee father sends his son to a boarding school after a shocking act of violence. A nanny for a famous family hides in Laurel Canyon after a tabloid scandal. A young woman selling her underwear to strangers. A notorious guest arrives at a mild-mannered, not-so-well-off rehab in the Southwest.
Emma Cline has described moments when ordinary life is disturbed, when everyday life becomes chaotic, revealing the adversities and violence that lurks. She explores the limits of herself and those around her: the dynamics of power in the family, in relationships, the distance between their real and fake self. Emma Cline’s sharp eyes illuminate the contrasting impulses that enliven our inner lives.
