A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"I found myself bathing in the wonderful descriptions . . . Newbery writes with grace and immediacy" (Vivien Hamilton Daily Telegraph)

"A gothic romance dealing with the most taboo subject of all . . . Newbery has created a climactic period story, compelling in its description and psychological drama . . . the relationship between art and life is starkly framed" (Elaine Williams TES Teacher)

"Unfolds with horrific credibility and total suspense" (Gill Roberts Carousel)

"This novel calls to mind the writings of the Bronte sisters . . . Despite or maybe because of the author seeming so unconcerned with current trends, this book works on every level. The plot is full of twists, the charcters are multi-dimensional, and the atmosphere of that grand Victorian house, with all its intrigue and hierarchy, is electric. Set in Stone is a gripping page-turner for children and adults alike" (Glasgow Herald)

"This is a plot-driven, exciting thriller" (Audrey Baker Inis)

Quatrième de couverture

When naïve and impressionable artist, Samuel Godwin, accepts the position of tutor to the daughters of wealthy Ernest Farrow, he does not suspect that he's walking into a web of deception. He is drawn into the lives of the three young women who live at Fourwinds: Charlotte Agnew, the governess; demure Juliana, the elder daughter; and her passionate and wilful younger sister, Marianne, who intrigues Samuel to the point of obsession.

And it is not just the people who entrance Samuel. The house, Fourwinds, holds mysteries of its own. What lies behind the disappearance of the West Wind carving and the gifted sculptor who created it? Soon Samuel and Charlotte start to uncover horrifying and dangerous secrets . . .

This thrilling novel, set in the late nineteenth century, will hold you in its grip until the very last page.

'Wonderful descriptions . . . Newbery writes with grace and immediacy' Daily Telegraph
