About this audiobook
Of course I was under the spell, and the wonderful part is that, even at the time, I perfectly knew I was. But I gave myself up to it; it was an antidote to any pain, and I had more pains than one.... Just as in this quote from this powerful work of gothic mystery and suspense by the master author; the listener is sucked in and put under a spell! The story is of a young governesses' very tricky job of taking care of two very tricky children indeed - Miles and Flora—who seem to feel a kinship with the dark presences the governess senses at the dreary estate (the children's distant father having isolated himself from them)... A masterpiece.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Had to abandon this after less than 5 minutes. The narrator's chosen voice, reading, and accent read untrue to me and incredibly grating. Abandoning for a different narration.
