In an ancient English mansion surrounded by fog and secrets, a young governess accepts the task of caring for two orphaned children, whose innocence soon begins to seem too perfect. Isolated from the world and with no company but the servants and the echoes of the past, the governess starts to perceive strange figures in the gardens, apparitions that no one else seems to see or admit.
Narrated with subtle and immersive mastery, The Turn of the Screw is a haunting work that continually challenges the reader's perception. Henry James weaves a story where the real and the imagined intertwine until they become indistinguishable, exploring the boundaries between reason and fear, truth and suggestion.
