Ellen Ruskell (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781952521980)

When the beautiful Ellen Ruskell becomes the governess at the Lanchester estate, no one knows of the mystery and turmoil she brings with her.

Inspired by Charlotte Bronte's masterful Victorian romance Jane Eyre, this elegant novella takes the reader back to England in the 1840's where nothing is as it seems.

How can I explain that this mad woman's presence was a balm? I should have been terrified of this figure in white half shrouded in shadows with her face concealed behind a ghostly veil. I should have screamed because there was a deranged woman sitting by my side in the darkness, but I lay there caressing her hand instead. I was tranquil in her presence, knowing that the living mystery was in my grasp.
