This is a disturbing and haunting tale that takes place in 1600s Iceland. Rosa, a young woman, leaves her village to marry a wealthy man, with the promise that his wealth will help her ailing mother. But, as it turns out, Rosa's husband is hiding secrets from her, and the stories about his dead first wife (and the rumors of her being a witch) ostrasize Rosa from her new neighbors. Overall, this is a great gothic romance, written in vein of Jane Eyre or Rebecca.
