À propos de cet audio

Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Emmy winner Emma Thompson lends her immense talent and experienced voice to Henry James' Gothic ghost tale, The Turn of the Screw.

When a governess is hired to care for two children at a British country estate, she begins to sense an otherworldly presence around the grounds. Are they really ghosts she's seeing? Or is something far more sinister at work?

Having performed in films based on some of the greatest works in literature - including Sense and Sensibility, Howards End, Much Ado About Nothing, and Henry V - Thompson is no stranger to the classics, and she lends a graceful eloquence to this moody, macabre story. Joined by listener favorite Richard Armitage, who performs the prologue, Thompson reinvigorates this psychological thriller of life, death, evil, and the unknown.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"[Narrator] Emma Thompson gives the performance we expect from an Oscar winner. Most listeners don't think of Henry James as a passionate writer, but passion is there, and Thompson brings it out - and adds some of her own.... Thompson's reading will teach new listeners how to read the text - and perhaps James in general - and to understand why he's considered a genius." ( AudioFile)

Author seems to have put in too much effort to make it more verbose than required...

Solid Performance but the story is meh...

I'm not even sure how to feel about this novel. There were so many times I was just so confused and do wish there was more story. Overall a decent read. I don't know if I would personally recommend this book to anyone but I'm still glad to have read it.

Decent but confusing read

Emma Thompson could read the dictionary and I would listen. The story is entertaining too.

Emma Thompson is lovely

so, it's a classic novel, so you should probably listen to it just so you're in the know. However, I recently read Dracula and the Amityville horror through audible, both of which are way spookier and a way better listen.

good-ish, bit not essential

A wonderful, terrifying, perfect ghost story. Emma Thompson’s performance is brilliant, she grips you until the very last word. I heard it all in one sitting and was sad when it ended. Unmissable, excellent, chilling and so satisfying. Bravo.

A must for ghost story lovers!!
