About This Book

A coastal market town grows obsessed with the arrival of secretive new occupants in a long-neglected manor, whose presence prompts rumors of ghosts and scandal. Through church-pew sightings, neighborhood gossip, and visits among local families, the narrative traces how curiosity, fear, and social etiquette conceal and reveal enigmatic figures—a taciturn elderly man, a striking young woman, and her elderly companion. Interwoven episodes follow various residents as they probe the household, explore nearby estates, and confront unsettling nocturnal occurrences, gradually transforming small-town banter into a tense sequence of personal confrontations and discoveries.
