Not a bad gothic novel. Nothing is ever as good as the originals in this genre, though!

رواية رائعة من اول صفحة حتى آخر صفحة، اربكتني شخصية دادة ماي في البداية ولكن استوقفتني كلمات سيم في الاسطر الاخيرة من الرواية لما قالت ❞ لكني لم ألتقِ بعد بطالبة أو متدربة جسَّدت، البأس في الشدائد، أكثر منكِ. إنني أقدِّركِ كثيرًا ❝ ماكان سهل ابدًا اللي مرت فيه خلال طفولتها ورغم ذلك كبرت بأفضل شكل وصارت افضل مربية،
استحقت الخمس نجوم بجدارة، الترجمة ممتازة.

I was not planning on buying this book. I had to pee, but the toilets on Gare du Nord where we ended our four day trip to Paris only accepted cash. So I went to the nearest little shop on the station and bought this book and asked for an extra euro. I did not get the euro. I felt betrayed and sad ,, and I still had to pee. Frustrated about the whole situation, I started to just read and forget about having to pee. I kept reading, and then I read some more. I read this book whenever I could. The story was very interesting and well written. I loved every second of it. Some even claim that I have not yet peed until this moment, after finally finishing this book. It was worth every euro, even the extra one for the toilet that I did not get!!

Liked it! Interesting plot and setting. Slow start, but unsettling dynamics in the house and tension building slowly throughout the story. I had my guesses but couldn’t say for sure until the very end. Well done.
I loved that the focus was kept on Ruby and her work and story, rather than turning into a love story just because she is a woman of a certain age. No cheese. Just great story, well written characters and story.
