WOW. What a story. It’s horror for sure, with a gothic style. But also deeply emotional when some things are revealed later in the book. Catriona Ward does an expert job of weaving reality and fantasy, leaving you guessing until the very end.
(I also love the false reveals- had me thinking this was a super obvious story and then saying “WHAT!?!?” out loud when the truth was revealed). Incredible job
