In 1939, Ken Kourian went to a party at the house of Oliver Tooke, a wealthy young man who wanted to pursue life as a writer. They were immediately acquainted.
Oliver's life is not a bed of roses apparently. He died by suicide. Ken tried to think of a reason why Oliver might have done it.
He had been thinking a lot about Oliver's new book, The Turnglass. He thinks Oliver left it as a sign in case something happened to him. He wanted Ken to let people know the truth if he couldn't himself. There are a lot of subtle messages in his book.
The events in the book were based on what had happened to Oliver's grandfather almost sixty years earlier. He thinks those events were connected to what had happened to the family. His book took some unravelling about Turglass House which always had something corrupt and malign.
His death was most likely linked to his mother's being in an asylum and his brother being abducted when they were small. It was why Oliver had spoken of the guilt a lot before he died.
Oh my. The most underrated book I've read this year. This book is unique not only because of tete-beche. The plot and the author's writing are amazing. A story within a story is a captivating tale filled with mystery and mind-blowing endings. 5 ⭐️ !!
