About This Book

Una giovane eroina subisce manipolazione e privazioni mentre parenti e un cupo nobile italiano prendono possesso della sua proprietà e ostacolano il suo fidanzamento, provocando la separazione dal suo amato. Viene condotta in viaggi attraverso drammatici paesaggi alpini e italiani e costretta al soggiorno in un castello fatiscente dove passaggi segreti, lettere e inquietanti avvenimenti accrescono l'incertezza su eredità e identità. La narrazione unisce descrizioni atmosferiche e suspense gotica a una tensione costante tra apparenti fenomeni sovrannaturali e spiegazioni razionali, mentre amicizie, tradimenti e rivelazioni determinano il suo destino.
