The rich are different. They hide the bodies and think they're so clean and nice.
"A wildly delicious supernatural paranormal spin on Jane Eyre." -Elizabeth Burns, School Library Journal
"A beautifully dark Gothic." -Alice, Marvels
Determined and watchful foster teen Jane Williams thinks she's finally escaped violence and poverty when she's offered a full scholarship to prestigious Birch Grove Academy. She's given a cottage of her own, an allowance, and access to an extraordinary education. She even begins tutoring the headmistress's striking son, Lucien.
But as Jane settles into this beautiful, rarefied world, she begins to sense that its comforts require a far more dangerous bargain.
A haunting, atmospheric novel that reads like a voluptuous love letter to the classic Gothics that came before-including those by Anne Radcliffe, Bram Stoker, and Charlotte Brontë-and to the eternal spirit of girls and women who stop running, turn to face the monsters, and discover themselves.
