The turn of the Screw

“After I had accepted the position and agreed to his condition, I had two or three very bad days.  I was full of doubts, sure I had made a terrible mistake.  I was in this state of mind as I sat in the uncomfortable coach which was taking me to my new home.”

En ung kvinde begynder sit første job som guvernante for to forældreløse børn, Miles og Flora, på herresædet Bly.

Børnene er smukke og velopdragne – men er de for gode til at være sande?

Da guvernanten begynder at opleve mærkelige syner, får hun mistanke om, at børnene skjuler en frygtelig hemmelighed.

Er der spøgelser på Bly – eller er guvernanten ved at blive sindssyg?

Henry James’ klassiske spøgelseshistorie er her genfortalt på niveau B2.
