The Turn of the Screw (Paperback)

Most popular work by renowned writer Henry James.

In The Turn of the Screw , this disturbing plot takes us into the daily life of a young governess tasked with caring for two children, Miles and Flora, who live on the outskirts of London. The young woman is the narrator of the story, and what seems like a dream job suddenly becomes a nightmare. The inhabitants of the house are haunted, or malignly influenced, by the ghosts of Peter Quint, the former butler, and Miss Jessel, the former governess.

In this suspenseful atmosphere, the young woman relies only on the help of her kind maid, Mrs. Grose, to rid herself of the evil that torments the family.

""Terrifying. The story continues to haunt us even after reading the final page."" - The Guardian
