Lo Zio Silas by J. Sheridan Le Fanu
A Tale of Bartram-Haugh
An orphaned young heiress is sent to live with a distant, enigmatic relative and finds herself drawn into a tightening web of family secrets, sinister servants, and subtle threats to her person and fortune. Strange occurrences, withheld letters and legal machinations create mounting suspense as those around her maneuver to control her inheritance; slowly the heroine uncovers hidden motives and crimes, and with courage and the help of an ally forces long-buried truths into the light. The story combines Gothic atmosphere and sensation-novel plotting to explore trust, vulnerability, and the dangers faced by a woman alone in a hostile domestic world.
