SILVERHILL

by Phyllis A. Whitney ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 26, 1967

When Malinda Rico brings the body of her mother Blanche home to Silverhill, she does not receive a welcome with her determination to stir memories. In particular there are her own, of the accident which scarred her face at four (she is now twenty-three), and those of her aunt Fritzie, who cannot recall the nature of the quarrel which was associated with her father's death, for which she considers herself responsible. Mallie is determined to save Fritzie from being ""put away"" by her tyrannical grandmother Julia, who tries to bribe Mallie to leave the Gorham family in peace. But Mallie persists, and in the process finds a son for Fritzie (Gerald, the one-armed heir) and a man for herself. Meantime Aunt Nina has done in Julia in the gallery of mirrors, or is it the conservatory, where all Fritzie's birds have been let loose? Pseudo New England Gothic which needs more than a coat of paint but there are tenants.
