In an ancient mansion on the savage English moors, Agatha crochets while her sister, Huldey, hopes for fame. A mastiff searches for God, and the scullery maid watches it all unfold. When a new governess arrives from London to care for the young master of the house, matters spiral out of control. Jen Silverman’s The Moors is a gothic comedy about power, longing, and how we fill our days.
