false 3248557 1 <b>In an enthralling work of Gothic suspense, an Edith Wharton story inspires five connected tales set in the same haunted manor over the centuries.</b><br><br>In her classic ghost story "Kerfol," Edith Wharton tells the tale of Anne de Barrigan, a young Frenchwoman convicted of murdering her husband, the jealous Yves de Cornault. The elderly lord was found dead on the stairs, apparently savaged by a pack of dogs, though there were no dogs &#8212; no live dogs &#8212; at Kerfol that day. In this remarkable collection of intertwining short stories, Deborah Noyes takes us back to the haunted manor and tells us Anne de Barrigan's story through the sympathetic eyes of her servant girl. Four more tales slip forward in time, peering in on a young artist, a hard-drinking party girl, a young American couple, and a deaf gardener who now tends the Kerfol estate. All these souls are haunted by the ghosts of Kerfol &#8212; the dead dogs, the sensual yet uneasy relationships, and the bitter taste of revenge. 3283567 26 8 2008 The Ghosts of Kerfol total:92|5:12|4:28|3:37|2:11|1:4| 92 309 191 44 5 2 false false Thu Jul 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 11 04:51:58 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 13 05:48:30 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Fri Sep 26 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 26 09:15:32 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 27 07:04:25 -0700 2008 ...more...]]> 3 1 false false Tue Dec 30 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jul 29 09:39:18 -0700 2008 Tue Dec 30 10:42:31 -0800 2008 1 a fascinating premise: five short stories, all taking place in the same house- kerfol, of edith wharton's short story (which is called, well, 'kerfol'.) noyes starts with a retelling of wharton's story, told this time from the perspective of a handmaid....more...]]> 5 1 false false Sat Jul 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 10 18:21:55 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 14 15:55:27 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Feb 16 15:31:02 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 15:31:58 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Fri Oct 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 28 09:05:22 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 10 12:46:26 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sat Jun 07 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 07 13:28:37 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 07 13:36:22 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Mar 25 08:32:19 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 10:58:09 -0700 2009
