Book Description
Winterwood, a huge English country estate of brooding immensity and shadowy secrets, seems like a sanctuary to Lavinia. For the beautiful and penniless young woman, hired as companion for the invalid daughter of the wealthy Meryons, is fleeing the strange, dark ghosts of her own scandalous past. But it is not long before Lavinia is aware that the atmosphere of Winterwood is filled with odd menace. The silent struggle for the fortune of the cantankerous old Lady Tameson, who is dying most reluctantly, casts an evil spell over the entire household. And no one...not even Lavinia or the innocent child she is protecting...is safe from it.
