We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

Shirley Jackson’s writing is just so beautiful. This book was weird and creepy in the best way. Strangely cathartic to read as a person who’d also like to hide away from the world with a cat and vegetable patch (but without the murder).
