Still She Wished for Company by Margaret Irwin
2.0
Thank you to Agora books for the copy of Still She Wished for Company.
This was a strange tale originally published in 1924. Usually I love classics, but this one was difficult. It took me weeks of puttering through to finish, and honestly, I will forget by the next. While the premise sounds interesting, what it delivers is not what you expect. It is a ghost story, science fiction, historical fiction, but also none of those with strength. Most of the tale is told between Juliana and Lucian, her brother, and neither particularly fascinated me.
If you enjoy a slow-paced tale, this may be for you. However, this was highly forgettable for me.
