A glamourous young socialite discovers the haunting secrets of a mysterious mansion in 1950s Mexico in this gorgeous new edition of Silvia Moreno-Garcia's mesmerising feminist Gothic fantasy
'You don't read this book so much as surrender to it. A dark and heady swoon' THE GUARDIAN
'As rich is suspense as it is in lush '50s atmosphere' ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
He is trying to poison me. You must come for me, Noemi. You have to save me.
After receiving a frantic letter from her newlywed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, socialite Noemi Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She's not sure what she will find - her cousin's husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemi knows little about the region.
Noemi is more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she's also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: not of her cousin's new alluring, menacing husband; not of his father; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi's dreams with dark visions.
For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family's once colossal wealth and faded mining empire keeps them safe from prying eyes, but as Noemi digs deeper, she unearths stories of violence and madness.
And Noemi, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may find it impossible to escape.
