One year after their sister’s death, strange things start to happen in the house. This is where the story also takes a strange turn and becomes a ghost story. It was interesting to take a traditional story of grief in this way but it also took away from the sisters.
In general, I wanted to spend more time with each sister and learn about their lives but with 3 POVs and a book under 300 pages, you don’t get a lot of time spent with any of the characters.
Reading the author’s note at the end, with all of her sources of inspiration, made me appreciate what she tried to do with this story. However, I think it needed a bit more in its execution.
