Description

When Virgilia Wilde begins to suffer from strange visions she visits her local doctor, reporting somberly that her imagination has been playing tricks. What transpires is far more alarming; Virgilia seems to have developed the power of precognition, and with this terrible ability comes fears for the safety of her beloved daughter... The follow-up to the critically acclaimed haunted-house novelThe Uninvited is one of the most sharply observed accounts we have of middle-class post-war Dublin.
