The Juniper Tree by Barbara Comyns

4.0

Character-driven modern fairy tale. The mood it creates is dark and sinister, but you will be completely entranced by Bella. Evilness simmers just below the surface throughout and you are on the edge of your seat waiting for it to bubble up. This is not one of those plot-driven, unreliable narrator, troubled women thrillers, but something denser, more real, even as it is steeped in fairy tale unrealness.
