THE OFFICIAL MOVIE TIE-IN EDITION: Soon to be a major motion picture from Universal Pictures, this is the #1 bestselling tale of a family haunted by the past - and perhaps more - from one of our most exciting contemporary novelists. In the summer of 1947, Hundreds Hall, the once grand home of the Ayres family, is in decline. When Dr. Faraday, who visited the house as the young son of a former servant, is called to see a patient there, he is shocked to see how badly the family is struggling. As Faraday grows closer to Mrs. Ayres, her war-damaged son Roddie, and her daughter Caroline, disturbing events start to occur, and he begins to wonder if they are threatened by something more sinister than a world that has left them behind.
