Description
When Marian Taylor takes the post of governess at Gaze castle, remote house on a beautiful but desolate coast, she finds herself confronted with many strange mysteries. What kind of crime or catastrophe in the past still keeps the house under a brooding spell? And is her employer Hannah an innocent victim, a guilty woman, a lunatic, or a witch?

I liked the philosophical questions that arised in this book. But it's really not an easy read if you want to fully understand the characters. I agree with some of the other reviews: at first I felt pity for some of the characters, but later they just annoyed me (although I could to some extent understand why they were 'enchanted' by Hannah). The first half or 3/4 of this book were really good,but then I just wanted it to be over although Iris Murdoch writes beautifully.
