The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My Life at Rose Red by Joyce Reardon
4.0
I really enjoyed this novel. The diary entry style was interesting to experience and I loved Ellen. I have loved her and Sukeena from the first time I watched Rose Red, and seeing them through the pages of this novel was amazing.
There was more focus on the Rimbauers and how the house came to be which was SO fascinating to me. The house seems to have become alive quite early on and we don't really get the almost motivation (?) behind the house in the mini series and we get theories in the novel from Ellen.
I quite like that we had Madam Lu in the novel; ahe was a welcome surprise for me. I feel like we got almost nothing from Madame Stravinski but what we got was SO GOOD. And Sukeena! Ugh she was utterly fantastic. I loved all the ladies honestly.
