A grieved couple depart to Venice after the sudden death of their daughter. Here the visions of a blind psychic push their already fragile relationship to its limits. Will they heed her warnings or disregard the ramblings of an old woman; and at what cost? In this work of short stories, Du Maurier parades her talent for turning the pangs and heartaches of everyday living into psychological nightmares, driving her characters relentlessly towards the brink of insanity.
