A lot to think about here. Overall, it's a pretty cool story. It's a ghost story, but it may just be a psychological book. You never really find out whether the ghosts were "real" or if she was just seeing things. The ghosts are interesting figures. Both were servants at the creepy estate before our unnamed governess entered the picture. It's never really answered what happened with the servants and if something untoward happened there. Whether or not there were real ghosts, the children were pretty creepy. It was interesting to see the governess's character and thought process.
