About this listen

 A troubled Byronic hero, a young governess blinded by her romantic obsession, a beautiful but forbidding manor, and a secret as ominous as the black rainbow that frames the huddled towers of the manor in the moonlight are the romantic elements of this Gothic mystery.©1982 Barbara Michaels (P)1991 Recorded Books,LLC Gothic Horror Suspense Thriller & Suspense Scary Romance

This book reminded me of Du Maurier, but there were folk horror aspects to the story that made it wholly individual. I loved it. The narration was excellent and it was an excellent study of small village thought. I do wish Caroline hadn’t pretty much vanished midway through, that was my only bugbear. The ending was a perfect sleight of hand with the prayer read out. Excellent.

Folk horror at its finest.
