Winner of the Somerset Maugham Award 1982' Exceptional' ObserverLydia Sinclair was just seventeen when she arrived on her husband' s estate in the Andes, and from the first day she felt that she belonged there. Keepers of the House tells the story of a young English woman newly married to a sugar planter. As her husband, the last of the Beltran family line, retreats into himself, Lydia finds solace in the stories of Benito, the family' s oldest retainer. Unearthing the Beltran family' s tragic history, she weaves together a rich gothic tapestry in which the fantastic legends of the past are intertwined with the present.
