I can’t quite put my finger on why I got through this book so quickly, maybe because I wanted to see what the parallels were between this book and the tv show.
However, the governess irritated me. She seemed to glean an awful lot of information from small encounters. It would have been so much more satisfying if she took longer to pull the pieces together. But I do feel her need to be right was the undoing in the end as it led to the tragic ending.

That being said, the prose in this novel is SO dense. The run on sentences are so exhausting that just trying to keep up with the plot is a challenge at times, which really takes away from the atmospheric horror of it all.

Dejando eso de lado, la historia está bien. Me resultaba muy confusa, pero es parte del encanto.
