Book Overview

The Green Mirror: A Quiet Story is a novel written by British author Hugh Walpole in 1917. The story follows the life of a young woman named Joan who is forced to leave her home in London and move to the countryside with her aunt and uncle. While there, she discovers a mysterious green mirror that seems to have a strange power over her. As she becomes more and more obsessed with the mirror, Joan begins to lose touch with reality and her relationships with those around her begin to suffer.
