內容簡介：
An upper-class woman, recovering from a suicide attempt, visits
the women''s ward of Millbank prison as part of her rehabilitation.
There she meets Selina, an enigmatic spiritualist-and becomes drawn
into a twilight world of ghosts and shadows, unruly spirits and
unseemly passions, until she is at last driven to concoct a
desperate plot to secure Selina''s freedom, and her own. "Unfolds
sinuously and ominously...a powerful plot-twister. The book is
multidimensional: a naturalistic look at Victorian society; a truly
suspenseful tale of terror; and a piece of elegant, thinly veiled
erotica." "USA Today" "Gothic tale, psychological study, puzzle
narrative-Sarah Waters'' second novel is all of these wrapped into
one, served up to superbly suspenseful and hypnotic effect." "The
Seattle Times"
