The last time I read one was during my a levels and our English lit teacher took us to see the play. I was less than thrilled when I discovered that it was an interactive play and the ghost liked to sit in the audience. Guess who has an empty seat right behind them!

During that time, Anne was at the mercy of a sadistic governess, Miss Bonner, who tied her hands to the bedposts at night. (In Glenconner’s second murder-mystery novel, “ A Haunting at Holkham,” published in 2021, she took her revenge on Miss Bonner by having a fictional stand-in killed and buried beneath the sands of Holkham Beach.)

(In 1997, the director of the Murdoch Children's Research Institute [6] opined that a genetic disease in the Hepburn-Stuart-Forbes-Trefusis family (i.e. of Anne's paternal grandmother) [7] may have killed male members of the family in early childhood and caused learning disabilities in females.
