Beschreibung
Marvellously written short novella - a family story as evocative, gripping and Gothic as best-selling ghost story, THE WOMAN IN BLACK. The farmhouse was called The Beacon and they had been born and reared there, May, Colin, Frank and Berenice. May had been the clever daughter and escaped to go to university. But now she is back, the spinster daughter, the one who stayed, who nursed her father and mother in their old age. Now Frank is the one who got away. He married and moved on. But why does no one dare even to mention Frank's name?
