    4.0 out of 5 stars A great gothic ghost story, ambiguous and mystifying
    Reviewed in Australia on 22 August 2022
    I really enjoyed this audiobook of James's novella. Emma Thompson gives a great performance with her very iconic voice, bringing all of the characters to life and adding the emotion required flawlessly. If you have never read this book before then this short audiobook is well worth listening to.

    As a book from the late 19th century, it brings out the attitudes of the time. The class divides between The Governess and Mrs Grose, the illiterate assistant housekeeper. Throughout the book, The Governess treats her as one of the "simple folk". This acts as a timely reminder that the history we read and see is generally written about a very thin layer of society.

    The interplay between The Governess and MIles, the 10-year-old boy and the oldest of her charges, is also intriguing. You can see the entrenched beliefs over gender roles and the continual playing for affection and the upper hand between the two of them.

    There are several subplots running through the book. The child has been cast out of his school for some reason, and she is there to find out why and to fix the situation. The daughter, Flora, whose relationship with The Governess quickly goes downhill, and the ghosts that appear throughout the story.

    Ultimately it's an ambiguous book where the reader is the one who makes up their own mind about the story. I really enjoyed this for a number of reasons, and will likely read it again in book form at some point in the future.

    No estoy segura si es una edición completa o resumida. El tamaño del libro me deja dudando si es que se trata de un resumen o esta completo.
    No pude encontrar nada de información en la contraportada ya que no hay nada, ni siquiera editorial. A mi parecer es un proyecto de una nueva editorial, al menos eso parece.
