I felt clever when I realized that O Caledonia is like a twisted & tragic “I Capture the Castle,” as seen through a funhouse mirror, with Wednesday Addams as the protagonist. Then, I read Maggie O’Farrell’s introduction, which I saved for last to avoid spoilers, and saw that she made the same literary comparison. Despite its short length, I didn’t find this a fast read. It is, however, witty and darkly atmospheric with a keen attention to language.
