Unspeakable Things

A Novel

De: Elizabeth Hand

Two young women uncover the deadly secrets of a legendary estate—and their own dark bond—in this delicious historical thriller inspired by the mysterious origins of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, and as could only be penned by the award-winning author of A Haunting on the Hill.

It's the 1920s and the English countryside is quiet—which suits Olivia and Tamsin, two young women happy to be overlooked by society. Their relationship is complicated: unruly, working-class Tamsin was brought to Kerrith Manor to be tutored at Olivia's side, but the two quickly have found something more than friendship—a bone-deep recognition that ignites an endless passion.

But an unexplained death and an unexpected visitor soon disrupt their idyll, sending both women on the run. They find harbor at Ledges, the dazzling estate of ruthlessly wealthy and endlessly mysterious Rex D’Hiver. At Ledges, a favorite hang-out for the wealthy, bohemian Bright Young Things eager to cut loose far from London’s prying eyes, Olivia and Tamsin at last experience the heady power of true freedom…and soon, its deadly cost.
