o retorno do gótico

Se você gosta de literatura gótica (nesse caso, eu chamaria de um gótico moderno, pois foi publicado em 1976), esse livro é para você.

O livro é permeado de mistérios (alguns de solução mais evidentes, outros menos), o cenário principal é uma mansão em estilo Tudor (com direito a labirinto no jardim) na Inglaterra e a trama envolve poderes paranormais.

A escrita de Mary Stewart é gostosa, detalhista e a trama prende. E agora já estou à procura de outros títulos escritos por ela.
