A review by rystonlentil43
We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

dark emotional mysterious medium-paced
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

This is excellent writing; every word felt important. I enjoyed the gradual reveal of information settling in forwards and backwards. Merricat's voice felt so true.

(No stars for the afterword by Jonathan Lethem in this edition. Who asked you??)
