About the book

Why The Turn of the Screw is a great book to read in English

A young governess at a remote country house becomes convinced that her two charges are visited by ghosts — or is she the danger? Henry James's 1898 novella is the most argued-about ghost story in English; its long, winding sentences are a workout that advanced readers relish.

On LangOrbit you read “The Turn of the Screw” with a safety net: the translation is one tap away when a sentence runs long, every word opens its meaning in context and can be saved for spaced-repetition review, and the grammar behind the trickier lines is explained right where you meet it.
