This book is phenomenal!
The book is a gripping account on how mental illness and a dysfunctional family can completely confuse a child and lead to tragedy. The atmosphere is so disturbing from page one. It's so extremely well written, you get very uncomfortable reading about each character's suffering and distress, despite the complete unability to communicate it to others.
It's a very, very dark novel, reminding me of Jane Eyre for some reason, but so worth reading. I'll definitely read other works by Timothy Findley!
