Resumen del Editor
A gothic tale set in a rambling house by the sea in which a maid cares for a mute old woman with a mysterious past, alongside her superstitious staff - from the author of The Silent Companions.
A perfect spooky listen!
Consumption has ravaged Louise Pinecroft's family, leaving her and her father alone and heartbroken. But Dr. Pinecroft has plans for a revolutionary experiment: convinced that sea air will prove to be the cure his wife and children needed, he arranges to house a group of prisoners suffering from the disease in the caves beneath his new Cornish home. While he devotes himself to his controversial medical trials, Louise finds herself increasingly discomfited by the strange tales her new maid tells of the fairies that hunt the land, searching for those they can steal away to their realm.
Forty years later, Hester arrives at Morvoren House to take up a position as nurse to the now partially paralyzed and mute Miss Pinecroft. Hester has fled to Cornwall to try to escape her past, but surrounded by superstitious staff enacting bizarre rituals, she soon discovers her new home may be just as dangerous as her last.
Laura Purcell's The Shape of Darkness is now out from Penguin!
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Purcell has a sure storytelling touch, a command of atmosphere and a keen eye for the telling details of social history. Oh, and she stores up some satisfying and suitably macabre final revelations." (The Guardian)
"A Victorian tale replete with laudanum, tuberculosis and possibly fairies...a clever, creepy read." (Sunday Express, Best New Thrillers)
"Brilliantly atmospheric and chilling...I raced through the pages hardly daring to find out what would happen next. Laura’s characters and the world they inhabit are compelling, unsettling and richly drawn. A fabulous tale!" (Ruth Hogan, author of The Keeper of Lost Things)

Asher Todd comes to live with the mysterious Morwood family as a governess to their children.

However, she becomes fond of her charges, of the people of the Tarn, and she begins to wonder if she will be able to execute her plan—and who will suffer most if she does.

Laura Purcell has a knack for writing Victorian Gothic Tales but this one didn't quite hit the spot for me.
This book is told in two alternating story-lines. One where Louise Pinecroft's family has died from consumption. Leaving her and her Physician father alone and grieving. In his grief Dr. Pinecraft believes that he knows a cure - he is going to conduct an experiment using prisoners who have consumption and show how the sea air can cure them. He is housing the prisoners in the caves underneath their new home. While he treats his patients, his daughter is becoming more uneasy as her maid talks of fairies and how they hunt the land.
Hester Why arrives at Morvoren House forty years later to work as a nurse for the ailing and partially paralyzed Miss Pinecraft. She comes with some baggage, so to speak. She is fleeing from a previous job and finds her new living situation strange but not as strange as the customs and bizarre behavior of others who live there. Something isn't quite right here, but what?
I will agree that this book is atmospheric and Gothic but for me it has left me with more questions than answers. I felt confused at times throughout the book. The two story-lines do come together but with all of the confusion I felt of this Victorian read it left me a bit puzzled. For me this book felt a little disjointed and I would have liked the past and present story-lines to line up a little better than they did.
Perhaps I was holding this book up to a very high standard, after listening to "𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒐𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅" which I indeed loved very much. This book just wasn't the best fit for me. I do however have another of Laura Purcell books to read "𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔" and like this one I am looking forward to it. Here's hoping it will be a smash. 🤞

I struggled with the last quarter of the book. I loved the narration, loved the first half of the story. But somethings went amiss for me at the second half and last quarter. Loved the idea of dark fae, just left me confused with some of the story.

Gothic delight....
I had so much fun listening to this one. This is a true Gothic tale in the fashion of Dianne Setterfield's Bellman & Black, or even ....Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights. The author has the goods and knows how to transport you to another time and place. The story was creepy (in a good way) and there was absolutely nothing one-dimensional about the characters. Such a relief! Hester is a good person who also is a criminal and a bit crazy. The rest of the characters are equally complicated, for the most part. This is my second novel of Laura Purcell's and certainly won't be my last. If you are longing for a great Gothic gem, this will probably satisfy you. The narrator's voice and reading style suited the story perfectly.

Eh, I expected more
I was really exited to hear this story because the author has written such amazing books, this however is mediocre.
The book seems like two short stories merged together then scrambled to make into one complete story. The first half of the book is interesting but the ending leaves a lot to the imagination assuming you can imagine a possibly hateful mother-in-law doing something unthinkable.
The second half is something I could have skipped. It didn’t provide any interest to me besides slight confusion at the time change and the character change.
The ending however was silly. It felt rushed and yet I didn’t learn anything new and nothing happened that you didn’t expect to happen. Over all I wouldn’t say it’s a bad read but I wouldn’t listen to it again or recommend it to the masses.

Not as good as I expected
I was excited to read another book by this author after reading one of hers that I enjoyed very much. The House of Whispers was very slow moving and difficult to get interested in. Twenty chapters in, I was painfully bored and waiting for something of interest to happen. I found myself not knowing what was happening, and not really caring, because it didn’t feel like there was any substance to have missed out on. It did get better towards the end, but was really just kind of blah throughout the whole thing.
The narrators did do a great job, though.

Laura Purcell is one of my favorite authors but this just isn't her best.
It's a damn shame too as it as so much promise. have to wonder if it wasn't a bit rushed to meet a deadline.

Disjointed is what comes to mind!
I wanted to love this book but I felt like I was listening to two separate books.
The first part of the story was fascinating, however, once the main character arrived to her new position the story took a dark turn for the worse. Nonsense of ghosts and spirits. Was she a drunk seeing things? The main character changed personality from one chapter to the next. One moment she was full of anger whiling to kill her mistress unborn child, the next chapter without explanation she started acting like a mature, caring proper lady wanting to save her new employer from ghost.
Hahaha! Nuts!
Who can keep up with this story. The end was terrible!
I just wasted hours of my life!
Save yourself the aggravation don’t listen to this book.
