Very slow, but enjoyable once you get into it. Definitely alludes to beauty and the beast, but set pre WW1 when Germany is building it's new empire. Mina is 20 year old and struggles with life as "a ghost". Walking is her escape until the witch comes back after 50 years.
A really great book but just very very slow.
