A Sarah Waters book without any lesbians whatsoever?? But I didn't even care because this is SO dang good. Very spooky, and gets more and more unsettling as the book goes on. It's a slow burn, and you start to dislike the narrator more and more (which is a good thing for the book's structure) and the ending just - WOW. A great gothic story.
