The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell

4.5

“The past had taken enough from her already – she would not let it have her adult years too.”

The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell

QUICK SUMMARY 🖊️ 
Pregnant and widowed weeks after her wedding, Elsie travels to the home her late husband and her had planned to share. Now she’s surrounded by resentful servants and villagers who fear the house. 
Elsie has no one but her later husbands cousin for company, until one day of exploring sets them down a path of destruction. 


FINAL THOUGHTS 💭 
@curiously.katt does it again. This book was my fave of February, the creep factor was high, the story was enthralling. Told in two separate timelines, you don’t know what to believe in this Victorian Gothic Novel, and I think Laura Purcell is a new fave author for me.
