The Haunted Woman

Más información sobre el libro

In this allegorical classic of 1922, Isbel Loment is young, attractive and wealthy, and engaged to a most suitable man. Yet she is listless and vaguely unsatisfied. A visit to an old house leads to a chance discovery of a secret room that apparently only she and the house's owner can access. They meet and talk, of matters of apparently little consequence; afterwards they can remember nothing of the experience, but are left with a sense of unease. This may sound a slight premise on which to build a novel - but this book shimmers with atmosphere and a sense of oddness that draws readers in and keeps them hooked right to the unsettling end.
