Description
1891. New England. Twelve-year-old orphan Florence lives with her younger brother Giles in an secluded, nearly abandoned mansion. Their uncle cares little about raising children, and for his niece he has even forbidden hiring a teacher. He is sure the girl can’t read or write… But left to herself, Florence secretly devours book after book, disappearing for hours into the cold silence of the huge library.
Soon, Miss Taylor comes to the estate. She brings a sense of trouble and the scent of lilies. The girl senses that a злой and vengeful spirit has appeared in the house, threatening her brother. Unable to turn to adults for help, she uses all her mind and ingenuity to stand up to it...
The novel is intended for a broad audience. It contains something of a psychological thriller, something of Gothic prose, and something of a terrifying fairy tale—not everyone would dare to read it at night under the covers.
