Interesting and fast paced, although I don't think it will stick with me.

It's more about motherhood than a ghost story or generational trauma </spoiler >

An analogy for breaking generational trauma and  the sacrifices of motherhood in the darkest, saddest  possible way. If you need a happy ending or even a clear resolution this isn’t for you.  I honestly liked it but the plot was way too slow, I had to force myself through until about halfway when it picked up a smidge.

This read was hit or miss for me - I enjoyed the strong women characters and the portrayal of complicated family relationships. I enjoyed the gothic elements and portrayal of the sea and the darkness it holds for our characters but this felt like it was building to something more and it just didn’t get there for me.
