THE TURN OF THE SCREW

by | Read by Penelope Rawlins, Ben Elliot

Classics • 5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 1898

An unnamed governess arrives at a sprawling English estate and immediately finds herself both charmed and mystified by her new charges--the darling young niece and nephew of a wealthy absentee landlord. Ben Elliot, who reads the prologue, and Penelope Rawlins combine a skillful delivery of Henry James's careful nineteenth-century prose with a more modern pace that will keep listeners on the edge of their seats. Rawlins's voice subtly becomes more emotional as this masterpiece, a blend of early literary realism and ghost story, advances towards a captivating finish. Sometimes a classic sounds like a classic because it's that good and, in this case, that scary. A listening treat. B.P. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2017]
