The Books Oracle
by Sarah Waters
Doctor Faraday returns to Hundreds Hall, the decaying estate where his mother once served, now home to the struggling Ayres family in postwar England. As unsettling events plague the household, Faraday becomes entangled in the family's unraveling, unable to distinguish psychological distress from supernatural threat. Waters crafts a slow-burn gothic of class resentment and atmospheric dread.
