This book was so beautifully written. The horror aspects of it weren't especially terrifying, but the language that Pearson used throughout the whole book gave it such a haunting atmosphere, and made the scary parts that much scarier. 
I truly loved the depiction of the women's relationships with each other. They were more than friends or sisters without being lovers, and they felt so real and raw through both generations.
