Edith Wharton's ghost stories whisper of passion, exile, and the things we cannot forget
In an old Dorset house, a couple settle into a life of quiet comfort - until a presence makes itself felt. At a country gathering, a man is forced to confront a long-buried secret he has tried to outrun. In a small New England community, suspicion gathers around a widower believed to be under the spell of a dead woman. Bewitched brings together three of Edith Wharton's most unsettling ghost stories. Elegant and controlled, they trace the lingering effects of guilt, secrecy and moral judgement - and the moment when the repressed makes its reappearance.
Includes the stories: Afterward, The Eyes and Bewitched
