Why read it?
1 author picked The Winter Guest as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I felt a powerful sense of tragic history and increasing pity and fear as this story progressed with its brooding, fateful, gothic atmosphere and hints of the supernatural in a gloomy, coastal house in Ireland. I became swept up by the gathering intensity and intrigue and the multiple shocks that arise from the main protagonist’s discoveries.

From SC's list on supernatural with a creepy sense of unease.
