Bookclub 57 - The Only One Left

Kit, a caregiver recently suspended after her mother's controversial death, is desperate for work and reluctantly accepts a job at Hope's End, a decaying mansion perched on Maine's cliffs. Her reputation is tarnished, her father is cold, and her only solace is in books and fleeting encounters. The assignment is to care for Lenora Hope, a mute, paralyzed woman infamous for allegedly murdering her family decades ago. Kit's own guilt and the town's suspicion mirror the shadow of Lenora's legend. As Kit packs her meager belongings and leaves her father's silent house, she's haunted by the question: is she, too, capable of the darkness others see in her?
