A young woman takes a job as governess in a secluded mansion. The job comes with the understanding that she will take care of everything and never disturb the master for anything. It's a strange arrangement, but one the young woman agrees to it.
Things start out normally enough, but she starts to see things that don't make sense. Things that could endanger her young charge. Then, young Miles is expelled from school and not allowed to return. The governess begins to suspect that things beyond what she can see may be a threat to the children.
This was a pretty good book. The end is a bit unsatisfying. I put it down and went, "WHAT?!" I wanted to know what happened to at least two of the characters after the moment it ended. At times, it was a bit hard to follow, but I think that's more a result of when it was written. It was a good story, and I'm glad I read it.
