About This Book

A young man returns to his aunt's old country house for the holidays and is drawn into the routine and affections of domestic life, especially through his relationship with a spirited young cousin. Gradually familiar scenes and old rooms yield to unsettling incidents and local enigmas, and the narrative shifts from gentle portraiture to a mood of quiet dread. Through careful observation and suggestive Gothic detail, the work examines family ties, the persistence of memory, and how superstition and buried secrets can disturb ordinary rural existence.
