At the turn of the 20th century, a family opens its country house to a group of stranded train-crash survivors amid preparations for daughter Emerald Torrington's 20th birthday. As the day progresses, the Torringtons and their three party guests end up learning hidden truths about themselves through their encounter with the mysterious, uninvited accident victims. An intriguing tale reminiscent of Henry James' The Turn of the Screw.
The Uninvited Guests, Sadie Jones, $22.
