This book is so weird! It made me kind of love it. It was spooky and gothic with a shockingly "coincidental" plot. But I'm not over the scene where Arthur is knitting and explicitly flouting gender norms to his conventional neighbor. It was a hokey gothic novel, a scary plague/disease novel, and had a dumb sentimental/marriage novel plot at the end. It was a wild ride, but a fun one.

Flighty drama.
