Hi, such a long shot and don't know if this is the best place to post...but around 12 years ago I picked up a book lying around in a hostel, which was quite frankly brilliant. I'm kicking myself for not keeping it. No clue on title or author but the plot as follows...pretty sure set in UK, an old man lives in a block of flats and becomes fascinated then obsessed with a young girl that moves in. So its basically told from his point of view and he is in essence stalking her but he obviously terrifies her and she ends up killing herself. Ok so I know it sounds grim but the writing was wonderful..almost like the man had no clue of the damage he was doing...but it was just creepy and different to anything else I'd read. Would love to track it down. Anyone??
