About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. A young governess takes her first position: two children, a remote country house in Essex, and an employer in London who insists on one condition above all others. He is never to be troubled about them. Whatever happens, she must handle it alone.
At first Bly seems idyllic. Flora is enchanting, Miles is expelled from school for a reason nobody will name, and the housekeeper is kind but evasive. Then the governess sees a man on the tower. Later, a woman in black across the lake. The servants who describe them are certain of the identification and equally certain that both people are dead.
She becomes convinced the children see them too, and are concealing it. What follows is either a rescue or a persecution, and the novella never tells you which.
The most argued-over ghost story in English literature: are the apparitions real, or is the narrator destroying two children to save them from her own imagination? A century of readers has failed to settle it.
