A review by normal_biblio
Charles by Shirley Jackson
3.0
It's Shirley Jackson, so it was obviously wonderfully written!
But I found the story predictable, so that reduced the impact of the twisted ending a bit for me. Or maybe the twist was not supposed to be a twist, it was just for us to observe how parents easily judge and blame other parents for their children's behaviour, not knowing or understanding the psychology of their own child.
