The Well-Beloved (Large Print Edition) Book

I can't remember where I even picked up this book. It's been on my shelf for a while and I finally read it--very surprising! It's the story of a haunting, but not in the traditional sense. In three separate sections we meet different owners of Lamb House whose stories interlock without it ever being clear exactly how--which I always think is a good thing in a ghost story.

Literary figures come in and out of the narrative; Henry James is one of the owners of the house, which partly inspires "The Turn of the Screw." There's also an interesting idea running throughout about female voices being silenced and never satisfied. I assumed the third narrator was a woman for some reason until I realized she wasn't. You wind up with the male authors all getting a chance to speak and deciding when not to speak while at least two women scream and shout in silence. Definitely interesting and I'm glad I read it.
