In this modern-day Turn of the Screw, Jack spends the summer on a remote island looking after two children. He slowly unravels a series of mysteries about his young charges and their house. The story is told through letters from Jack to his girlfriend; Prose effectively re-creates the original tale's chilling mood, and her fans will enjoy this outing.
