About the book

The Turn of the Screw by Henry James is a gothic horror story about a young governess who is hired to care for two children, Miles and Flora, at a remote English country estate called Bly. Their uncle gives the governess complete responsibility for the children and asks not to be disturbed. Soon after arriving, the governess begins seeing mysterious figures around the estate. She believes they are the ghosts of two former employees, Peter Quint and Miss Jessel, and becomes convinced that the spirits are trying to influence the children. As her fear grows, she struggles to determine what is truly happening at Bly. The story explores fear, isolation, innocence, supernatural evil, and uncertainty. One of its most famous features is its ambiguity, leaving readers to decide whether the ghosts are real or whether the governess's experiences are the result of her own imagination.
