''The Vet's Daughter'' (ISBN 0-86068-163-7) is a 1959 novel by English author Barbara Comyns Carr. == The subject of the novel == ''The Vet's Daughter'' is the fictional tale of Alice Rowlands, the daughter of a South London veterinarian in the Edwardian era. Alice's father is a bully who rules their repressed house through terror. Alice's frail mother dies and is swiftly replaced in the family home by her father's brash and sexually savvy new girlfriend. The confusion and abuse heaped on Alice combined with her ultimate optimism lead to her discovering her own occult powers, with disastrous results. The quality of the writing and of that "innocent eye which observes with childlike simplicity the most fantastic or the most ominous occurrence" was praised by Graham Greene.〔Comyns Carr, Barbara, The Vet's Daughter (Virago)〕
