Angelica: A Novel

“A masterpiece . . . seamlessly mixes psychological disintegration, the dissolution of a marriage and . . . a classic ghost story.”—USA Today
 
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • NATIONAL BESTSELLER
 
“Angelica impresses first as a clever send-up of the late Victorian novel, and then becomes its own very original thing.
 It is engrossing, deeply moving, and—precisely because it is moving—very frightening.”—Stephen King
 
London, the 1880s. In the dark of night, a chilling spectre is making its way through the Barton household, hovering over the sleeping daughter and terrorizing her fragile mother. Are these visions real, or is there something more sinister, and more human, to fear? As the family’s story is told several times from different perspectives, events are recast, sym- pathies shift, and nothing is as it seems.
 
Set at the dawn of psychoanalysis and the peak of spiritualism’s acceptance, Angelica is a spellbinding Victorian ghost story, an intriguing literary and psychological puzzle, and a thoroughly modern exploration of identity, reality, and love.
