![]() ![]() ![]() The other is about a terribly disfigured and mute Elsie in an asylum, who’s facing a hanging for unspecified crimes. One is about a young and intelligent Elsie who lives in the manor. The novel, it should be noted, skips around between three linked stories. ![]() Elsie moves into his crumbling estate, with its odd servants and creaky floors, and soon starts to notice that something isn’t quite right. The Silent Companions follows the troubled life of Elsie Bainbridge, a young and pregnant widow who has recently inherited her husband’s fortune, sprawling manor (called The Bridge), and interestingly, his cousin. Quite frankly, the scarier the better for this Hoarder. This was a novel that I was eager to read, as I’m an enormous fan of all things creepy and mysterious. Many thanks to Penguin Books for sending a copy of Laura Purcell’s The Silent Companions. ![]()
