This was fantastic. Oyeyemi is so clearly talented, she can bend prose styles and narrative around her in ways that I hadn't seen before. This was a wonderful gothic, inheritance and love shown at their worst and most possessive. I've read a fair amount of modern gothics and I feel like authors either get the genre or they don't but this one GOT it.
