It is a terrible shame that this book is so long. Le Fanu is most definitely more talented when it comes to the short story, I struggled to read this book because of its slow pacing, almost nothing at all happens until the last 60 pages, but those last 60 pages are rather wonderful. It was a very predictable ending, but I enjoyed reading it nonetheless.
