Description
Rustication: A Novel by Charles Palliser is a gothic masterpiece that returns to the town of Thurchester, evoking a haunting atmosphere. In winter 1863, Richard Shenstone, a young man with a troubled past, finds temporary refuge in a dilapidated old mansion on the southern English coast. Addicted to opium and tormented by desire, Richard becomes embroiled in a series of crimes and misdemeanors that lead him to be the leading suspect. As graphic and threatening letters circulate among his neighbors, Richard must navigate a complex web of suspicion and deceit. Atmospheric and brilliantly executed, Rustication confirms Charles Palliser's reputation as a leading contemporary Victorian novelist.
