This review is from: The Bell Tower of Wyndspelle (Hardcover)

in 1770 boston,mass,caryn allison and her family(father and mother) are tory sympathizers for which,their' home is burned to the ground. caryn's father dies and her mother loses touch with reality. caryn goes to town to seek justice but,is almost attacked by an angry mob. a sea captain,joseph delgado,recues caryn.
joseph takes caryn to his home,"wyndspelle"(a forbidding,haunted(?) mansion). while living there,caryn somehow believes that joseph is responsible for her troubles. caryn developes a strange dislike of joseph(and his family and friends)bordering on hatred. caryn feels that the mansion is "alive" and "feeding" off of her.
this story is better than the first "wyndspelle". the essence of this book is the relationship between caryn and joseph. the reasons for caryn's irrational emotions towards the others remains unclear. the author suggests it is wyndspelle itself because of it's history,which includes a burning(to death)of a so-called "witch",many years before and a curse put on the house.
it could be,the "history" of wyndspelle,is playing on the subconscious of the fragile caryn. caryn BELIEVES the house is "alive" and cursed,therefore,all people living in it are doomed!!! read it and find out what happens.
