The widow's house
Goodman, Carol2017
Book
When Jess and Clare Martin move from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to their former college town in the Hudson River valley, they are hoping for rejuvenation of their marriage and Jess's writing career. They take a caretaker's job at Riven House, a crumbling estate and home of their old college writing professor. While Clare once had dreams of being a writer, those plans fell by the wayside when Jess made a big literary debut in their 20s. It's been years since his first novel and the advance has long been spent. Clare's hope is that the beauty and nostalgia of the Hudson Valley will offer some inspiration. But there is a haunting pall that hangs over Riven House like a funeral veil. Something is just not right. Soon, Clare begins to hear babies crying at night and see strange figures in fog at the edge of their property. Diving into the history of the area, she realises that Riven House has a dark and anguished past.
