The book is a Gothic romance that tells the story of a young woman named Charmian who falls in love with a mysterious man named Geoffrey Tempest. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Geoffrey is haunted by the ghost of his former mistress, a woman named Wormwood. As Charmian tries to uncover the truth about Wormwood's death, she becomes embroiled in a dark and dangerous world of secrets and betrayal. Along the way, she encounters a cast of eccentric characters, including a sinister doctor, a beautiful but troubled actress, and a group of spiritualists who claim to communicate with the dead. The novel explores themes of love, obsession, and the supernatural, and is known for its lush prose and vivid descriptions of the English countryside.
