A book I finally finished after some time.. The first half is rather long-winded, but I sped through the second half trying to finally unravel the mystery of the dead poet. I did grow to like the narrator Grace and felt a pleasing release of tension with 

her death at the end and the reveal of her guilty secret.

It also made me reflect on the mysterious solidarity of sisterhood and family, and overall it took me somewhere far away in Europe which was much enjoyed during this pandemic.
