Here the historical setting is less about clean period detail than atmosphere: damp corridors, class pressure, jealousy, sexual danger, inheritance anxiety, and the ancient literary pleasure of watching a vulnerable young woman try to work out whether the house wants to protect her or eat her alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"940\" data-end=\"1215\"\u003eA good one for readers who like old-school historical suspense, gothic melodrama, cruel households, suspicious benefactors, and women with extremely bad options behaving as sensibly as the genre allows. Basically: big house, bad vibes, satin, Satan. Efficient little machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1521\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1970 Pan Books paperback edition.
