I was highly invested in what was going on in this story, but the suspended belief you need at the end pulled me out a bit but by that time, I just went with it 🤷♀️
Lichen Hall is creepily Gothic and houses unwed mothers shunned in society as they fall pregnant until they give birth and the kids are adopted. Pearl is the newest addition but will she ever get to leave?
Told in 2 separate years, 1957 and 1965, there are many strange happenings and the proprietress of the house is cold and calculating but occasionally a cry for help is heard. It dives into a hard look at how women were mistreated by these types of houses. There's a supernatural element that lends itself to some very terrifying truths and evil within the story.
