This book was very well written and managed to evoke feelings of nostalgia and feel almost historical as you continued reading. It was almost like it became the story of the house and it made me feel things. HOWEVER, the content was difficult. There was so much incest and paedophilia, which just happened constantly and was completely unnecessary but also was not particularly condemned or seen as problematic. There were also points where it just became quite boring. It seems the type of book to study in a lit class but not a particularly enjoyable book outside of that context.
