The House of Pomegranates

A journey through Victorian London and an exploration of the human psyche when confronted by its own shadow, as experienced by Enid Thel, a parlour maid in the house of MP Quintin Brethren. Although Enid and the sinister Mr. Brethren soon become lovers, Enid has good reason to fear for both her own and her employer's sanity, due to the obsessive and tyrannical nature of her employer's love, and his jealousy of Olivers, his footman and Enid's confidante. Mr. Brethren's control over Enid tightens even more and she is observed in her every move. Enid's fragile means of escape from her lover's possessiveness is to secretly flee from his presence each night and wander the 'nocturnal otherworld' of London, which again contains its own peril.
