A hopeful governess arrives at a remote mansion on the English Moors after exchanging romantic correspondence with the compelling Mr. Branwell. But when she enters, the only residents appear to be Branwell's two spinster sisters, a maid (or is it two maids?), and a despondent dog. No man to be found, nor child to be cared for. A wild story which simultaneously embraces and satirizes the Gothic lit genre, honors the enduring legacy of the Bronte Sisters, feels contemporary and historic all at once, and most important, explores the terrifying human desire to be intimately seen and known.
