The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters

holdawayjen's review against another edition

dark mysterious sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I was extremely impressed with this book, although it came very highly recommended by someone I trust to make recommendations.

The Little Stranger was not just a modern novel, it is a piece of literature to be studied and read over and over again. I believe every reader will relate with one of the main characters and find something to love about Hundreds Hall.

Amazing book!

It just takes too long to develope the plot. After more than 70 pages (and still no actual plot in sight? But a nice writing style) i decided to check the reviews, only to find out that the book will only start to pick up after the first half... as it isn't really my genre I decided to not finish it.
