wow. what an unexpected read. this was so good. A little bit haunted house, a little bit fever dream, and a little bit social commentary.
The story alternates POV with each chapter between grandmother and granddaughter. Both go unnamed so it did get confusing just a little bit but you're able to sort it out after a paragraph or two so it didn't bother me too much.
I read this as an eBook but I definitely want to get a physical copy for my shelf and give this a reread soon.
one of my favourite quotes:
“Those suck-ups in the village stopped talking to us, as if whoever received the most pats on the head from the master would magically stop being a dog.”
read this if you enjoy, haunted houses, sentient houses, fever dream prose, witchcraft, revenge, curses, generational trauma, multiple POV.
Thank you to Two Lines Press and Netgalley for sharing a digital copy, as always opinions are my own.
