This made me cry several times. The characters are complicated people which I loved, especially the depths of Jade and her father.

Even as someone who doesn't typically read horror (my overactive brain gives me nightmares way to easily with creepy stuff), I ended up really loving this book. Though I can see how this book might not be for everyone. Be forewarned, it is creepy as hell and can sometimes feel a bit chaotic, but it contains a lot of beautiful writing and story that drew me in. I'm always a big fan of houses that become their own character in books and this one becomes as much a part of the book as the main characters. It also speaks to exploration of identity, family rupture and connection, and stories washed over and untold by colonialist revision of history.

Additional content warning for bugs, so many bugs in many creepy ways.
