All the Murmuring Bones by A.G. Slatter
5.0
I can't really believe I didn't read anything by Angela Slatter before. I want to fix that now. She writes dark fairytale like stories that fullfill my cravings. This one is deeply feminist and a joy to read. Both, characters and athmosphere were a delight and I'd spend a lot more pages with this characters.
Miren has lived a sort of a sheltered live with her grandparents as she was told her parents died when she was a baby. But their state is crumbling and what once was a great fortune is now loosing all the grandeour so wen her grandad dies, her grandma tries to sell her to a marriage of convinience to her cousin. But Miren doesn't want to be ill treated and she flees after discovering something about her parents.
At times it feels like a fairy tale, at others a gothic romance but the combination is so unique you are compelled to keep reading. I enjoyed it so much!
