In a small Pennsylvania town, Robert Forrester is recuperating from a
nasty divorce and a bout of psychological trouble. One evening, while
driving home, he sees a pretty young woman framed by her bright kitchen
window. Soon, he can't keep himself away. But when Robert is inevitably
discovered, obsession is turned on its head, and he finds himself unable
to shake the young woman, nor entirely sure whether he should. Recently
made into a major motion picture starring Julia Stiles and Paddy
Considine, The Cry of the Owl is essential Highsmith, a modern classic
ready to be reborn.
