Whilst large swathes of this were fairly easy to predict, the ending did catch me by surprise! I loved this book (Governesses and ghosts are like catnip to me) and once I got out of my reading slump I could hardly put it down. I'm a fan of Turn of the Screw by Henry James and this was a read in the same vein.
