The Ghosts of Bly Manor

About this book

A young governess accepts an irresistible position at a grand and isolated country house: she will care for two unusually charming children, provided she never troubles their distant guardian. Bly Manor first appears almost idyllic, but silence gathers in its corridors and unfamiliar figures begin to appear on a tower and beside the lake. More unsettling still are the glances exchanged by the children. Are they innocent victims of a haunting, or participants in a secret the governess cannot understand? Henry James's enduring psychological masterpiece turns every certainty against the reader, leaving the boundary between supernatural menace and a mind under pressure dangerously unresolved.
