Product Information

The setting is in the Hardcastle crags area of Yorkshire and there is a bleakness to it which is quite pleasing. Ruby’s own personal trauma makes her fiercely protective of the England children but it also – understandably – clouds her judgement, which begs the question: how much of the strangeness she feels in Hardcastle House is a genuine, tangible concern, and how much of her own trauma is she projecting onto the family?

If you enjoy spending time with wealthy families in Edwardian England and feel an undertone of danger as you turn every page, be sure to add MRS. In Second Place , Rachel Cusk’s narrator struggles to be seen, especially by the sadistic artist she invites to stay who refuses to paint her portrait. A zárkózott és visszahúzódó Lilian csekély érdeklődést mutat gyermekei és elragadó férje iránt, és távolról sem az „a ház angyala”, akinek Ruby gondolta. Szeretem ezt az időszakot, a múlt század elejének Angliáját, különösen tetszett a Norland Intézet bemutatása. This is another brilliantly plotted and well-executed tale, one that I will be recommending to everyone I know.England doesn’t visit the children often, and when she takes the children to the drawing room for daily visits, Mrs. Halls’ storytelling is the slow-burning and refined kind – allowing readers to experience the growing menace and fear as Ruby does.
