| Winterwood, a huge English coun- try estate of brooding immensity and shadowy secrets, seems like a sanctuary to Lavinia. For the beau- tiful 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 atmos-phere of Winterwood is filled with odd menace. The silentstruggle for the fortune of the cantankerous old Lady Tame-son, who is dying most reluctantly, casts an evil spell overthe entire household. And no one.., not even Lavinia or theinnocent child she is protecting.., is safe from it. |
