Online: The Woman in Black by Susan Hill

Hello,

After George and Weedon Grossmith's The Diary of a Nobody scored a solid seven and a half at October's South London Book Club — Online, in December we will be going for The Woman in Black by Susan Hill.

This meeting will take place online via a web conferencing facility.

Of the book, The Guardian writes:

As a young man, Arthur, then a junior solicitor in a London law firm, was sent to the remote town of Crythin Gifford to sort out the papers of a recently dead client of the firm, Mrs Alice Drablow. Of course she had lived in a gloomy mansion – Eel Marsh House – cut off from the village by a causeway that is only passable at low tide. Of course the locals are fearful of the place and yet highly reluctant to talk of their fears.
