- premium: True
- source:
- content: St. James's previous novels feature ghosts--and the people who encounter them. This latest work is less a ghost story than a family drama, and the somewhat uneven narration by Justine Eyre reinforces this trait. Jo Manders is working as a paid companion to Dottie Forsyth, her husband's aunt, after WWI. Alex disappeared in 1918 but was never formally declared dead, leaving Jo in a precarious position. When Jo and Dottie arrive at Wych Elm House, the family estate, questions about the death of Dottie's young daughter arise. Eyre is good at female characterizations that reflect a range of life experiences, but she continues to struggle with creating distinguishable male voices--a particular issue if male characters have conversations with each other. Recommended for fans of the author's previous works. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine

- For fans of historical fiction and gothic romance, an atmospheric ghost story from the award-winning author of The Haunting of Maddy ClareEngland, 1921. Three years after her husband, Alex, disappeared after being shot down over Germany, Jo Manders still mourns his loss. Working as a paid companion to his wealthy, condescending aunt, Dottie Forsyth, Jo travels to the family estate in the Sussex countryside. But there is much she never knew about her husband's origins ... and all is not well at Wych Elm House. Dottie's husband is distant, and her son was grievously injured in the war. Footsteps follow Jo down empty halls, and items in her bedroom are eerily rearranged. More unsettling, she learns things about the family that Alex never told her: Dottie had an unstable daughter who killed herself as well as a local man. The neighbors say the family is cursed. Just as Jo begins to question the husband she once knew, a stranger returns to Wych Elm House, claiming to be Alex.
