We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

4.0

Atmospheric setting and perfect for autumn! It could be a little slow and being at times as well as repetitive. I felt like Merricat read as being a child as opposed to 18, her voice sounded very young and immature (maybe because of the trauma?). Overall it was an interesting, unique story but I kind of wanted more since not much happens and most of the pages are just repeating things!
