{"product_id":"the-silent-companions-a-novel","title":"The Silent Companions: A Novel","description":"“[An] extraordinary, memorable and truly haunting book.” —Jojo Moyes, #1 New York Times bestselling author\n\nLaura Purcell's THE SHAPE OF DARKNESS is now out from Penguin!\n\nSome doors are locked for a reason.\n\nWhen Elsie married handsome young heir Rupert Bainbridge, she believed she was destined for a life of luxury. But pregnant and widowed just weeks after their wedding, with her new servants resentful and the local villagers actively hostile, Elsie has only her late husband’s awkward cousin for company. Or so she thinks. Inside her new home lies a locked door, beyond which is a painted wooden figure—a silent companion—that bears a striking resemblance to Elsie herself. The residents of the estate are terrified of the figure, but Elsie tries to shrug this off as simple superstition—that is, until she notices the figure’s eyes following her.\n\nA Victorian ghost story that evokes a most unsettling kind of fear, The Silent Companions is a tale that creeps its way through the consciousness in ways you least expect—much like the companions themselves.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 014313163X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.014313163X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Purcell, Laura\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
