About This Book
The story starts conventionally enough with friends sharing ghost stories 'round
the fire on Christmas Eve. One of the guests tells about a governess at a
country house plagued by supernatural visitors. But in the hands of Henry James,
the master of nuance, this little tale of terror is an exquisite gem of sexual
and psychological ambiguity. Only the young governess can see the ghosts; only
she suspects that the previous governess and her lover are controlling the two
orphaned children (a girl and a boy) for some evil purpose. The household staff
don't know what she's talking about, the children are evasive when questioned,
and the master of the house (the children's uncle) is absent. Why does the young
girl claim not to see a perfectly visible woman standing on the far side of the
lake? Are the children being deceptive, or is the governess being paranoid? By
leaving the questions unanswered, The Turn of Screw generates spine-tingling
anxiety in its mesmerized readers.
