As always, Magda Szabo is able to heighten the tension and suspense. This follows a girl in a boarding school around the 1944. In this school, there is a statue called Abigail that is supposed to do good things for the girls. But when things actually happen attributed to Abigail, the protagonist starts wondering who actually is and how far her powers go.
