The Books Oracle
by J. Ann Thomas
A young woman arrives at a Berkshires mansion frozen in time, where fifteen spirits are imprisoned in an eternal collection and she must serve as their living companion. Thomas weaves Jane Eyre and Bly Manor into a gothic fantasy where forbidden romance blooms among ghosts and moral choices determine freedom's price. The house holds her captive through contract and desire alike, blurring lines between the living and the dead. Atmospheric and romantic with gothic melancholy.
