  • ""Unsettling love and stifled horror create and then destroy the claustrophobic world of this lush, literary gothic set in turn-of-the-century England. Catherine and Rob Allen, siblings two years apart, grow up in a world of shameful secrets....The children are sealed off with their grandfather in a crumbling country estate accompanied by their sturdy and well-loved servant, Kate, and the predatory tutor, Miss Gallagher. In true gothic fashion, terror, violence and eroticism collect beneath every dark surface. Against this strange and secretive backdrop, Cathy and Rob develop a closeness so fierce that it eventually threatens to smother them both"--from Publisher's Weekly, quoted in Amazon.com, for the English version."

Bruder und Schwester, aufgewachsen in einer Welt det Kälte und des Schweigens. Auf der Suche nach Geborgenheit klammern sie sich aneinander und entwickeln, als sie heranwachsen, Gefühle, die über die Liebe zwischen Geschwistern hinausgehen"--P. [4] of cover."
