Answer:
A Victorian gothic tale written in 1864. An orphaned 17 year old girl (Maud Ruthynis) is sent to live with her Uncle Silas after her father's death. She has never met him before. According to her father's will, she will be forced to live there until her twenty first birthday.
Years ago he was an excessive gambler and was accused of murder, and the scandal has never faded. The plot is a truly turmoil of events and emotions where we learn about Maud's struggle for survival against her uncle and her French governess Madame de La Rougierre. On the other hand, she finds some alleys as Milly, Silas' daughter and her cousin Monica.
Uncle Silas presents himself as a victim to society and mourns the bad situation his children are supposed to live with. At this point it would have been easy to feel sorry for him but then he turns into this nasty, addicted person who clearly has its own plans. the question that remains is ''has Uncle Silas truly became a changed religious man, or is he a greedy man willing to kill to for greed''?
