I loved this book but it took me a little while to get hooked. Initially, I was put off by the idea of guiding the dead and thought I may have struggled reading this as a child. As a deep thinker when I was younger, I think the concept may have been a bit much for me. However, I’m so glad I kept going with the book - it was wonderful. I was totally lost in Marinka’s world, and I loved the house!
