Before he is called to bless the body of a woman at the nearby asylum, Father Gabriel receives a strange, troubling confession: hidden under her dress he will find the notebooks that contain Rose's harrowing story. At fourteen years old, Rose is sold to a rich man by her father, a farmer unable to support her and her three younger sisters. Traded for a handful of coins, she becomes the property of the master and is taken away without warning to her new home. This isolated manor that seems like a castle to Rose, with the master's formidable mother and his absent wife, immediately provokes a sense of unease. Rose soon becomes caught in their perverse web, unsure of how to escape and whom she can trust. The English-language debut of critically acclaimed author Franck Bouysse, this exquisitely written novel is both a keen commentary on class and a chilling horror story. Deftly navigating the complexities of desire, abuse, compassion, and resilience, he has created a timeless portrait of human nature left to fester unseen"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Young women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Poor families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Diaries $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Priests $v Fiction. 651 0 $a France $x Social conditions $y 19th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Vergnaud, Lara, $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021401.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220108010112.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A17EA1BC705011EC877DAB8F58ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
