The Turn of the Screw ~ B2

Stage 4 – Young Adult ELI Readers – B2

‘After I had accepted the position and agreed to his condition, I had two or three very bad days.  I was full of doubts, sure I had made a terrible mistake.  I was in this state of mind as I sat in the uncomfortable coach which was taking me to my new home.’

A young woman starts her first job as a governess of two young children, Miles and Flora, at a country house called Bly. The children are beautiful and well-behaved, but are they too good to be true? When the governess starts to see ghosts, she suspects that the children are hiding a terrible secret. Are there ghosts at Bly, or is the governess going mad? Henry James’s classic ghost story is retold here at level B2.
