archergal 's review for:
We Have Always Lived in the Castle
by Shirley Jackson
Holy carp.
This is one of those books I've kinda been meaning to read, but which I kept putting off. It's got a big impact for a little book.
Merricat and Constance live with their Uncle Julian in and old house. They're shunned by the town because of a tragedy some years ago. They really have retreated into a tiny little space.
Then cousin Charles comes to the house. And nothing is the same.
There's nothing graphic here, but parts toward the end were a little hard to listen to because of the behavior of some of the characters.
I thought about The Haunting of Hill House more than once while I listened to this book.
Remember, you can go by small steps somewhere you could never go in one big leap. That's kinda what happened here.
Good stuff.
