A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Brother and sister Roderick and Pamela Fitzgerald flee their busy London lives to move to the quiet and beautiful English coastline. They are drawn to the suspiciously inexpensive Cliff House, feared amongst locals as a place of disturbance and ill omen. Gradually, the Fitzgeralds learn of the mysterious deaths of Mary Meredith and another strange young woman. Together, they must unravel the mystery of this house of horrors and keep Meredith s surviving daughter as far from the Cliff House as they can, despite her wish to return again to the nursery where something waits to tuck her in at night ... This bone-chilling Irish ghost story was first published in 1941 as An Uneasy Freehold and was renamed The Uninvited for its US edition in 1942. It was made into a film in 1944.

Biographie de l'auteur :

DOROTHY MACARDLE (1889-1958), an Irish writer, novelist, playwright, and historian, was born in Dundalk into a wealthy brewing family. A member of the Gaelic League and Cumann na mBan, Macardle spent time imprisoned because of her activities during the Irish Civil War. She later wrote about those experiences in Earthbound: Nine Stories of Ireland (1924). One of her most famous books was The Irish Republic (1937), a narrative account of the Irish War of Independence and its aftermath. She died in Drogheda in 1958, critical of what she saw as the reduced status of women in the 1937 Constitution of Ireland.
