The Haunted Room: A Tale (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A vivid Victorian tale of family, mystery, and ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances. A naval captain returns to a country estate to find his relatives at the center of a growing drama, where wealth and charity collide with fear, memory, and a house with a troubling past.

Set around Myst Court and its tenants, this novel follows Emmie Trevor as she learns the duties and limits of kindness, while her brother Bruce battles the shadows of a haunted room and painful memories. A distant danger—poisoned streams, estate disputes, and a changing village—tests the balance between privilege and responsibility. The story blends quiet social observation with hints of the uncanny, inviting readers to weigh courage, compassion, and consequence.

As these characters move from drawing room to cottage, the book traces how acts of care grow into leadership. It asks what it means to do good when good intentions collide with real-world constraints, and how a family can weather upheaval by leaning on one another.
