Edith Wharton's ghost stories whisper of passion, exile, and the things we cannot forget
In an old Dorset house, a couple settle into a life of quiet comfort until a presence makes itself felt. At a country gathering, a man is forced to confront a long-buried secret he has tried to outrun. In a small New England community, suspicion gathers around a widower believed to be under the spell of a dead woman. Bewitched brings together three of Edith Whartons most unsettling ghost stories. Elegant and controlled, they trace the lingering effects of guilt, secrecy and moral judgement and the moment when the repressed makes its reappearance.
