The Silent Companions
by Laura Purcell
Tense, dramatic, creepy, mysterious, even weird....all these words can be used to describe this book. Trust me, when you start reading it, you wont be able to put it down untill you finish. And even then, you'll be left with so many questions.⠀
⠀
Talking about family Bainbridge, its past and present, its secrets and lies, hidden up in a big, maybe even possesed manor, with the wooden dolls that just keep reapearing within the house, hidden rooms and locked doors, and diaries that hide horrendous stories, this book is a wonderful example of a victorian ghost story. ⠀
⠀
What is the difference between dreams and reality, paranormal and normal? What is real and what is not? And when can someone be defined as crazy? These are only some of the questions you will think about while reading this book. And probably a lot of the time after finishing it. ⠀
What I loved the most is the way the author gives us little hints that we must work out ourselves, she doesnt actually spell it all out but keeps it hidden, like a story within the story. And that is the story full of difficult topics like domestic violence, rape, position of women in the society and the society of 19th century in general.
