Description
This collection brings together three of Edith Wharton's most unsettling ghost stories, in which passion, exile and the things people cannot forget refuse to remain buried. In an old Dorset house, a couple settle into a life of quiet comfort until a presence makes itself felt. At a country gathering, a man must confront a long-buried secret he has tried to outrun. In a small New England community, suspicion gathers around a widower believed to be under the spell of a dead woman. Elegant and controlled, the stories trace the lingering effects of guilt, secrecy and moral judgement, and the moment when the repressed returns. Includes “Afterward,” “The Eyes” and “Bewitched.”
