The shipwrecked naturalist who is the protagonist of "Morpho Eungeia" is rescued by a family whose clandestine passions come to seem as inscrutable as the behavior of insects. In "The Conjugial Angel" a circle of fictional mediums finds itself haunted by the ghose of a very real historical personage.
In these accomplished novellas, the author returns to the territory she explored in Possession: the landscape of Victorian England, where science and spiritualism are both popular mania, and domestic decorum coexists with brutality and perversion.
