A gothic tale set in a rambling house by the sea in which a maid
cares for a mute old woman with a mysterious past, alongside her
superstitious staff--from the author of The Silent Companions. A
perfect spooky read! Consumption has ravaged Louise Pinecroft's
family, leaving her and her father alone and heartbroken. But Dr.
Pinecroft has plans for a revolutionary experiment: convinced that
sea air will prove to be the cure his wife and children needed, he
arranges to house a group of prisoners suffering from the disease
in the caves beneath his new Cornish home. While he devotes himself
to his controversial medical trials, Louise finds herself
increasingly discomfited by the strange tales her new maid tells of
the fairies that hunt the land, searching for those they can steal
away to their realm. Forty years later, Hester arrives at Morvoren
House to take up a position as nurse to the now partially paralyzed
and mute Miss Pinecroft. Hester has fled to Cornwall to try to
escape her past, but surrounded by superstitious staff enacting
bizarre rituals, she soon discovers her new home may be just as
dangerous as her last. Laura Purcell's THE SHAPE OF DARKNESS is now
out from Penguin!
