MEXICAN GOTHIC - SILVIA MORENO-GARCIA KARTONIER...

The acclaimed author of Gods of Jade and Shadow returns with a mesmerising feminist
re-imagining of Gothic fantasy  in which a young socialite discovers the haunting secrets of a
beautiful old mansion in 1950s Mexico.   He is trying to poison me. You must come for me 
Noemí. You have to save me.  When glamorous socialite Noemí Taboada receives a frantic letter
from her newlywed cousin begging to be rescued from a mysterious doom  it's clear something is
desperately amiss. Catalina has always had a flair for the dramatic  but her claims that her
husband is poisoning her and her visions of restless ghosts seem remarkable  even for her. 
Noemí's more suited to cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing  but she heads immediately to
High Place  a remote mansion in the Mexican countryside  determined to discover what is so
affecting her cousin. She's tough and smart  with an indomitable will  and she is not afraid:
not of her cousin's new husband  who is both menacing and alluring  not of his father  the
ancient patriarch who is fascinated by Noemí  and not of the house itself  which begins to
invade Noemi's dreams with visions of blood and doom.  Her only ally in this inhospitable abode
is the family's youngest son. Shy and gentle  he wants to help - but he might also be hiding
dark knowledge of his family's past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place.
The family's once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes  but as
Noemí digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness.  And Noemí  mesmerised by the
terrifying yet seductive world of High Place  may soon find it impossible to leave this
enigmatic house behind . . .
