Mexican Gothic
A disturbing letter from her cousin draws Noemí Taboada away from Mexico City to High Place, an isolated house occupied by an English family whose mining fortune has faded. The household’s hostility and the cousin’s condition make a simple rescue increasingly difficult.
Set in the 1950s, the novel uses a decaying mansion, family secrets and a history of exploitation to build its unease. It is a gothic horror story with a Mexican setting, where the beautiful surroundings offer little protection from what lies inside the house.
