I really liked this first novel of the author, his pen is fluid and we are really embarking on this family story. I was happy to find the Cornish atmosphere that I love so much. We have a story well built, sad and full of love, lies. I was very touched by the character of Amber more than any other. A beautiful family fresco.
A little slow in places, but I want more and that's a good thing.

Black Rabbit Hall by Eve Chase is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in late January. Since the synopsis tripped by trigger as a Sarah Waters fan, I thought I'd give this English manor house fiction novel a try.
Way too starched and customary for my tastes - plus the dual third-person storyline was very in-Sarah-Waters-like.

This book has so many elements that I love-- first and foremost, it being centered around a vast, sweeping gothic house. I just love that shit. But it also had duel time periods/POVs that intertwine, gothic touches, little bit of suspense and mystery, just to name a few. It was simply fantastic, I can't really complain about a thing.
