Synopsis

For Jill and Bob Spender and their three children, the charming Tudor farmhouse had seemed a godsend, an incredible bargain, almost a gift from its owner—a kindly man who merely wanted someone to protect the family homestead, to make Gad’s Hall come alive again. And it did. But a door had been opened into the past. And soon a strong-willed, sensible woman would be overtaken by irrational feelings she could not control...and a young child would be transformed by fear. Why was this happening? Why was there this vague feeling of uneasiness about the house? In order to protect her family—to preserve their life together—Jill knew she must discover the reason... Little did she realize that the sinister influence was rooted deep in the past, the result of an unspeakable secret harbored by the women who lived at Gad’s Hall more than a century ago. The consequences of this hidden evil ultimately cast a supernatural menace over the house—a curse whose power would remain undiminished in the 20th-century life of Jill Spender... *Gad’s Hall* and *The Haunting of Gad’s Hall* are a perfect blending of Norah Loft’s superior talents as a writer of historical and romantic suspense novels, as well as an extraordinary tale-spinner of the supernatural.
